Definition
Having cheeks of a particular kind, usually used in compounds like 'rosy-cheeked' or 'pale-cheeked'.
Etymology
From 'cheek' (the side of the face) + '-ed' past participle/adjective suffix. 'Cheek' comes from Old English 'cēace' and is related to Germanic words. The suffix '-ed' often creates adjectives meaning 'having' or 'characterized by.'
Kelly Says
The word 'cheeked' is rarely used alone but super common in phrases—'rosy-cheeked,' 'apple-cheeked,' 'hollow-cheeked'—and it shows how we use appearance words to express character, since rosy cheeks have meant health and innocence for centuries!
