Bekilted

/bɪˈkɪltɪd/ adjective

Definition

Dressed in or wearing a kilt, the traditional Scottish skirt-like garment.

Etymology

From 'be-' prefix combined with 'kilted' (past participle of kilt, to wear a kilt). The prefix suggests the state of being dressed in a kilt.

Kelly Says

The kilt itself is younger than most people think—the modern form wasn't standardized until the 18th century, and wearing one in daily life was actually suppressed by English law after the Scottish rebellions.
