Marked or shaded with a pattern of crossing parallel lines that create a grid or woven appearance.
From 'crosshatch' (the verb) plus the past participle '-ed'. This term describes the resulting appearance after the crosshatching technique has been applied to a drawing or artwork.
You'll see crosshatched areas in comics, engravings, and old maps—it's how artists created the illusion of shadow and depth before printing technology allowed for continuous tones!
