Bestrapped

/bɪˈstræpt/ adjective

Definition

Fitted or bound with straps; secured or fastened with straps.

Etymology

From the prefix 'be-' plus 'strapped' (past participle of 'strap,' from Dutch or Low German origin). The 'be-' prefix makes this an intensive adjective describing something thoroughly strapped.

Kelly Says

The word 'bestrapped' shows how 'be-' can turn an adjective into something more emphatic—'strapped' means bound with straps, but 'bestrapped' suggests something really heavily or thoroughly secured with straps.
