If a building is castellated, it has been given the look of a castle: the square teeth along the top of the wall, sometimes little towers, the outline you draw when you draw a castle. Architects call those teeth battlements. Though actually, a castellated building is often not a real castle at all. In the 1800s especially, people put this look on houses, schools, railway stations and church towers because it felt old, strong and grand. So the word is about style — built to look like a castle — more than about kings and fighting. It is a formal, written adjective; you meet it in books about buildings, not in chat. You would not call a child's plastic castle castellated.
城堡式的；有城垛的
組成From Medieval Latin castellātus, 'fortified, made like a castle', plus English -ed. That Latin sits on castellum, a small fort or castle. The adjective is the -ed form of the rare verb castellate, but this -ed word is actually attested earlier than other uses of the verb.
