Coraled

/ˈkɔrəld/ adjective

Definition

Made of, containing, or resembling coral; having the color or characteristics of coral.

Etymology

From 'coral' + '-ed' (adjective suffix meaning 'having or characterized by'). The suffix construction allows any noun to become an adjective describing similarity.

Kelly Says

'-ed' endings are English's favorite way to turn things into descriptions—'coraled' means 'having coral characteristics,' but it also shows how we turn any noun into an adjective!
