snow-covered
UK: ˈsnəʊ ˌkʌvəd | US: ˈsnoʊ ˌkʌvərd
adj. completely covered with snow
adj. describing a landscape or object obscured by a layer of snow
The word combines "snow," from Old English snāw (related to Proto-Germanic snaiwaz), with "cover," from Old French covrir (Latin cooperire, "to conceal completely"). The suffix "-ed" transforms the verb into an adjective, creating a vivid descriptor for objects or landscapes blanketed by snow. The logic is straightforward: "covered by snow" → "snow-covered."
