The word "studded" is an adjective that describes something that is decorated or embellished with small, often shiny objects called studs. These studs can be made of various materials like metal or gemstones, and they are typically fixed onto the surface of an item, adding both aesthetic appeal and texture. For example, a studded jacket may have small metal decorations on it that make it look more stylish and edgy.
The word "studded" comes from the verb "stud," which means to furnish with studs or to set or fix something into a surface. The origin of "stud" can be traced back to Middle English "stode" or "stude," which is related to the Old English "studde," indicating a support or fixture.
