CRESCENTED Meaning and Definition

  1. Crescented is an adjective that describes an object or surface that is shaped like a crescent moon or has a crescent moon-like curve or appearance. The term is derived from the noun "crescent," which refers to the curved shape of the moon in its first or last quarter phase. When an object is described as crescented, it means that it has a curved or arched shape that resembles the shape of a crescent moon.

For example, a crescented window refers to a window that has a curved or arched top, resembling the shape of a crescent moon. Similarly, a crescented blade may refer to a cutting tool, such as a knife or sword, that has a curved edge that slightly resembles the shape of a crescent moon.
