Bonneted

/ˈbɒnɪtɪd/ adjective

Definition

Wearing a bonnet; decorated with or having a bonnet attached to something.

Etymology

From 'bonnet' plus the adjectival suffix '-ed', creating a descriptive form meaning 'having or wearing a bonnet,' used from at least the 18th century.

Kelly Says

In old literature, a 'bonneted woman' conjures up a specific Victorian image, but the word also appears in descriptions of furniture and architecture—bonneted chimneys, for example, which have protective cap-like structures!
