喜樂美語
  1. 1穿著…的、覆蓋著…的（文學用語）

    Clad means dressed or covered in something — it's an old-fashioned or literary word for 'wearing' or 'covered with,' now mostly used with another word attached, like 'iron-clad' (covered in iron, or very solid/certain), 'scantily clad' (wearing very little), or 'snow-clad mountains.' You won't usually hear someone say 'I am clad in a shirt' in normal conversation — it shows up more in writing, news headlines, or fixed expressions.

From the word’s history

From Middle English clad, past tense and past participle of clothen 'to clothe'.

源自中古英文 clad，是 clothen「穿衣」的過去分詞。
