Definition
Covered or stained with smut or soot; blackened or dirtied with fine dark powder.
Etymology
Past participle and adjective form of 'besmut,' created by adding '-ed.' This form became standard for describing the state of being covered in soot.
Kelly Says
This word is particularly vivid in historical texts—'besmutted faces' and 'besmutted buildings' are phrases that instantly transport you to Victorian London during the height of the Industrial Revolution.
