Beclad

/bɪˈklæd/ adjective

Definition

Dressed or clothed in something; wearing or covered with a specific type of garment or material.

Etymology

From the prefix 'be-' plus 'clad' (past participle of 'clothe'). This archaic or literary form means to dress thoroughly or cover with clothing.

Kelly Says

'Beclad' is almost Victorian—you'd find it in 19th-century novels describing 'a maiden beclad in white,' which shows how prefixes like 'be-' create fancy or formal-sounding versions of everyday words!
