Belatticed

/bɪˈlætɪst/ adjective

Definition

Covered with or fitted with lattice work; decorated or enclosed with a pattern of crossed strips or bars.

Etymology

From 'be-' (intensive/causative prefix) plus 'latticed' (having a lattice pattern). The '-ed' ending marks it as an adjective, meaning the object has been given the quality of being latticed.

Kelly Says

Medieval and Tudor architecture went wild with latticing—'belatticed' windows let light in while keeping privacy and strength, and the word itself evokes that intricate, geometric beauty of crossed woodwork.
