Hazeled

/ˈheɪzəld/ adjective

Definition

Covered with or made of hazel wood or hazel branches; colored like hazelnuts (brownish or golden-brown).

Etymology

From 'hazel' (the shrub and nut, from Old English 'hæsel') plus the adjectival suffix '-ed' indicating 'having the quality of hazel.'

Kelly Says

Old English 'hæsel' comes from a Proto-Germanic root—hazel trees are so ancient to European culture that the word reaches back before English even existed as a language.
