Bevesseled

/bɪˈvɛsəld/ adjective

Definition

An archaic or obsolete adjective meaning decorated with vessels or marked with vessel-like impressions.

Etymology

From the prefix 'be-' combined with 'vessel' plus the '-ed' suffix. This was likely a descriptive term used in heraldry or ancient artifact description, now obsolete.

Kelly Says

This is a word so rare that it almost certainly appears in only a handful of historical texts! It's the kind of thing medieval scholars or heraldic experts might have used once.
