Definition
Wearing a wig or covered with a wig; often used to describe someone in formal or historical dress.
Etymology
Past participle of 'bewig,' formed by adding '-ed' to the verb. The adjective form emphasizes the state of wearing a wig rather than the action of putting one on, and it became fixed in English to describe 17th-18th century aristocrats.
Kelly Says
The phrase 'bewigged gentlemen' appears constantly in historical novels and period dramas to instantly signal to readers that they're in the 1700s. It's a brilliantly efficient descriptor—one word tells you about fashion, time period, and social class all at once.
