Having a breast or breasts of a specified kind, usually used in compound descriptions like 'red-breasted' or 'white-breasted.'
From 'breast' + '-ed' (past participle or adjective suffix). Used descriptively in natural history and ornithology to describe animal coloration patterns.
Ornithologists use these color-coded names to identify birds from far away—'red-breasted' robins or 'white-breasted' nuthatches stand out in the forest, and their bright chest colors often play a role in attracting mates and warning rivals.
