Gloved

/ɡlʌvd/ adjective

Definition

Wearing gloves or covered with gloves.

Etymology

From 'glove' (a hand covering) + '-ed' (adjective suffix). 'Glove' comes from Old English 'glof,' possibly related to the hand closing around something.

Kelly Says

Medieval knights wore armored gloves called gauntlets, and the word 'gloved' appears constantly in old stories to describe warriors ready for battle—it became an elegant way to describe fancy dressed-up hands!
