GARTERED Meaning and
Definition
-
Gartered is an adjective formed from the verb "garter," which refers to both the act of fastening or securing something with a garter and also to the act of wearing a garter. A garter is traditionally a band of elastic, fabric, or ribbon worn around the leg or arm, usually just above the knee or below the elbow, to hold up stockings or socks. It is often adorned with decorative elements like bows or lace.
When something is described as "gartered," it means that it has been fastened, secured, or held in place with a garter. For instance, if someone says they have gartered their stockings, it means they have used a garter to hold their stockings up. Likewise, if an item of clothing is gartered, it means it has been specifically designed or modified to be held in place with a garter.
The term "gartered" can also have a symbolic or thematic meaning in certain contexts. For instance, in the tradition of weddings, there is a custom known as the "garter toss," where the groom removes the bride's garter and throws it to a group of unmarried male guests. In this case, "gartered" can refer to the act of wearing or displaying a garter as part of a ceremonial or celebratory event.
In summary, "gartered" is an adjective that describes something that has been fastened or secured with a garter, which has historically been associated with stockings or as a symbolic accessory in certain events or rituals.

Etymology of GARTERED
The word "gartered" ultimately derives from the Middle English verb "gartren" or "garteren", which meant "to fasten with a garter". This Middle English term can be traced back to the Old Northern French word "gartier" or "garder", which also meant "to guard" or "to fasten". The French term was derived from the Old High German word "gart", meaning "belt" or "girdle". Additionally, the Germanic root "gart" is connected to the Proto-Indo-European word *ghert-, meaning "girdle" or "strap". Over time, "gartered" came to specifically refer to the act of securing or attaching stockings with a garter.
