Fountained

From fountain + -ed suffix indicating possession of a feature or quality. Fountain comes from Latin fontana (spring or water source).

Kelly Says

Adjectives ending in -ed can be tricky because they can mean 'having' something (a blue-eyed cat) or 'treated with' something, but 'fountained' definitely means a place beautiful enough to deserve ornamental fountains.
