Marked or spotted with small patches or streaks of color or texture; having small flecks.
From 'fleck' (a small mark or spot), possibly from Middle Dutch or Old Norse, combined with the past participle '-ed,' meaning 'covered with flecks.'
The word 'fleck' originally meant a small strip of cloth or a spot of color, and it perfectly captures how painters describe works—a 'flecked canvas' paints the exact picture of thousands of tiny marks.
