Definition
Fitted with feathers (called fletches), usually describing an arrow that has been properly finished with feathers at its rear end to help it fly straight.
Etymology
From 'fletch' (to attach feathers) via Old French 'fleche' meaning 'arrow,' derived from Germanic roots. The term evolved from archery, where feathers were critical to accurate flight paths. The '-ed' suffix marks it as a past participle or adjective.
Kelly Says
Medieval arrow-makers discovered that the exact angle and shape of feathers determined accuracy—this principle directly inspired the design of modern arrows, darts, and even spacecraft fins. What medieval archers learned through trial and error, modern engineers verify through physics.
