Bedighted

/bɪˈdaɪtɪd/ adjective

Definition

Dressed, clothed, or adorned; equipped or prepared (archaic).

Etymology

From 'bedight' + '-ed' (past participle/adjective suffix).

Kelly Says

Medieval and Renaissance poets absolutely loved this word because it sounds beautiful and old-fashioned—'a knight bedighted in shining armor' sounds way better than 'a knight dressed in armor!'
