Having a particular way of walking or moving, often used to describe horses trained to move in specific styles.
From the noun 'gait' (way of walking) plus the suffix '-ed,' which turns a noun into an adjective. 'Gait' comes from Old Norse 'gata' meaning path or way, entering English through Norse influence during the medieval period.
When people say a horse is 'gaited,' they mean it's been bred or trained to move in fancy ways—some horses have natural gaits that make them worth thousands of dollars, and this is actually a huge deal in equestrian sports.
