embroidered
UK: ɪmˈbrɔɪdəd | US: ɪmˈbrɔɪdərd
adj. decorated with needlework (stitched designs)
vt. past tense of "embroider" – to ornament fabric with needlework
The word traces back to Old French embrouder ("to adorn with needlework"), combining em- (a variant of en-, meaning "in") and brouder ("to embroider"), derived from Frankish brod ("point, needle"). The root broid reflects the twisting/braiding motion of needlework. Over time, -er and -ed were added to form the past participle, emphasizing the action's completion.

The tablecloth was embroidered with golden thread.
Traditional patterns are often embroidered by hand.
His initials were embroidered on the handkerchief.
