Kelly Says

In fantasy and detective fiction, 'becloaked' figures are almost always mysterious—wrapped in dark garments. This shows how English adjectives ending in -ed often come from verbs and express being affected by something, like 'tired' (affected by tiredness) or 'skilled' (affected by having developed skill).
