Encastered

/ɪnˈkæstərd/ adjective

Fitted with or provided with casters (small wheels on furniture).

Etymology

From en- (provided with) + caster (a small rotating wheel, from the verb 'cast') + -ed. This is a specialized furniture-making term.

Kelly Says

When you buy office chairs or furniture 'with casters,' older documents might describe them as 'encastered'—it's furniture jargon that shows how English creates adjectives for equipped items.
