Dressed in a gown; wearing a long formal dress or official robe.
Past participle of 'gown,' from Old French 'gone' meaning a garment, ultimately from Latin 'gunna' referring to a fur or leather garment worn by Germanic peoples.
The word 'gowned' preserves a fashion memory—it specifically marks someone as dressed formally, suggesting the gown is so important it needs its own verb, like 'crowned' marks royalty.
