Dewed

/ˈduːd/ adjective

Definition

Covered with dew or moistened by dew, as plants or grass are in the early morning.

Etymology

From Old English 'dew' (daug) + past participle suffix '-ed.' The adjective form describes something that has been moistened by or is covered in dew.

Kelly Says

In poetry, 'dewed grass' appears constantly because dew genuinely changes how light hits plants—the same lawn looks completely different at 6 AM versus noon, and poets were fascinated by this transformation!
