Pronunciation: [swˈe͡ɪdɪd] (IPA) 
Sueded is spelled with a "d" at the end, rather than a "t", despite the sound of a "t" being made when pronounced. This is due to the past tense suffix "-ed" being added to the verb "suede". The IPA phonetic transcription for "sueded" is /sweɪdɪd/. This highlights the pronunciation of the "d" sound at the end of the word, even though it may be hard to detect when spoken in regular conversation.
Sueded is an adjective that refers to a material or fabric that has been treated or finished to have a soft, velvety texture similar to suede leather. The term can also be used to describe the appearance or feel of an item that has been processed to mimic the characteristics of suede.
This finish is often achieved by brushing, sanding, or buffing the surface of the material or fabric, which creates a soft, fuzzy nap. Sueded materials can be made from various types of fabrics, including cotton, polyester, or a blend of different fibers.
Sueded fabrics are known for their luxurious and tactile qualities, as they provide a smooth and velvety touch. They are also popular for their visual appeal, as the texture offers a more refined and elegant look compared to regular fabrics. The sueded finish can be found in a wide range of products, including clothing items such as jackets, skirts, and pants, as well as accessories like handbags, shoes, and upholstery fabrics.
Overall, sueded refers to a material that has undergone a specific treatment to achieve a soft and velvety texture, providing both a visual and tactile experience that is distinct from other fabrics.
The word "sueded" is derived from the noun "suede", which refers to a type of soft, velvety leather. "Suede" originates from the French word "gants de Suède", meaning "gloves from Sweden". This name was used because the leather was initially made from Swedish kid (young goat) hides. Over time, the material gained popularity and the term "suede" came to be used more broadly to describe any kind of similar soft leather. "Sueded" is formed by adding the suffix "-ed" to the noun "suede" to create an adjective indicating that something has the appearance or texture of suede.
