Chuted

/ˈtʃuːtɪd/ adjective

Definition

Equipped with or having a chute; provided with a chute for passage or descent.

Etymology

From 'chute' (from French 'chute' meaning 'fall,' from Latin 'cadere' 'to fall') plus the suffix '-ed' (creating an adjective meaning 'having' or 'equipped with').

Kelly Says

The word 'chute' entered English from French during the 18th-19th centuries as engineering became more sophisticated—it's the same Latin root as 'cascade,' both describing something that falls!
