Shaped like a chalice; cup-shaped, especially describing flowers or other natural objects with a bowl-like form.
From 'chalice' (a goblet or drinking cup) plus the adjective suffix '-ed,' describing something that has the form or qualities of a chalice.
Botanists use 'chaliced' to describe flowers like tulips and some morning glories that form a perfect cup shape—and this shape isn't accidental; the bowl cups nectar and guides pollinators exactly where the flower needs them to go.
