layered
UK: ˈleɪəd | US: ˈleɪərd
adj. arranged in layers or levels
vt. past tense of "layer" (to arrange or form in layers)
The word "layered" derives from the noun "layer" (from Middle English leier, meaning "a stratum or sheet"), combined with the suffix "-ed," which forms past participles or adjectives. The root "layer" traces back to Old English leger (a bed or couch), reflecting the concept of one thing resting upon another. Over time, "layer" evolved to denote stacked or overlapping strata, and "-ed" was added to describe something arranged in such a manner.
