What does YCLAD mean in Scrabble?
other
archaicpoetic
The archaic past participle of clothe, meaning dressed or covered in a garment.
Writers who wanted an old and stately sound put the y- prefix in front of the ordinary participle clad and produced yclad, a form Spenser and other poets used when a knight or a maiden needed to be described as dressed in something specific. The prefix itself is a leftover of an Old English marker that once attached to many past participles and later fell away almost everywhere except in this kind of deliberately antique verse.
How YCLAD is used
Archaic and poetic; appears in older verse and in writing that imitates it, never in ordinary modern prose.
- The knight rode out yclad in armor that shone in the morning sun.
- She was yclad in green from head to foot, like a figure out of an old ballad.
- The poem describes a maiden yclad in white, waiting by the tower.
- He read the line where the hero stands yclad in borrowed mail.
- Yclad appears again three stanzas later, describing the same knight after battle.
