Fitted with a father; having a father, or wearing feathers (as in dressed with feathers).
From 'be-' (prefix meaning to cause or provide with) + 'fathered' (having a father, or from 'feather' + '-ed'). This rare word plays on the dual meaning of 'father' and could be dialectal or dialectal/poetic in origin.
This word demonstrates how the English prefix 'be-' works like a magic wand—you can attach it to almost any noun to create verbs meaning 'to cause to be' or 'to cover with,' which is why Middle English poets created hundreds of creative words we've mostly forgotten.
