Bunched

/bʌntʃt/ adjective

Definition

Gathered, grouped, or crowded together in a bunch or bunches.

Etymology

From bunch plus -ed, the regular past tense and adjectival suffix. Standard formation showing participation in bunching.

Kelly Says

The -ed suffix does double duty in English—'bunched' is both past tense (we bunched the flowers) and an adjective (bunched flowers), showing how flexible our word endings are!
