Bootied

/ˈbuːtid/ adjective

Definition

Wearing boots or booties; clothed with boots, especially small soft boots or baby boots.

Etymology

From 'booty' or 'bootie' (a small soft boot, from 'boot' with the diminutive suffix '-ie'), plus '-ed' to form an adjective.

Kelly Says

The word 'bootied' shows how we make baby-talk words sound cuter—booties are just tiny boots, but the diminutive '-ie' ending makes them adorable, the same way we say 'doggie' instead of 'dog' when talking to children.
