Word: draped Part of Speech: adj Pronunciation: /dɹeɪpt/ 1. Covered by or clothed in cloth that drapes loosely around the object or body. Example: The Venus Victrix is more draped than we expected from the subject, for the Princess Borghèse lay for it, as all the scandalous Chronicles have repeated a dozen times, in a state of nudity— certainly not consistent with the notions of female decency entertained in our climate. Example: He was followed (literally) by a troupe of very draped ladies, exactly the score of 'love-sick maidens', led by an imperious Lady Jane. 2. Having curtains or drapery (often of a specified type) Example: And for the newly mobilized, vacationing multitudes after the Second World War, there were the "Colonial" pilgrimages, which allowed lowly folk to step inside the very draped and chandeliered rooms where our Betters had lived out their Elegant and Traditional Colonial Lives. Example: Valances, swags, or cornices may be installed over draped walls to enhance the impression of a window treatment. 3. Loosely fitted, with softly hanging fabric. Example: Double-breasted coats, swagger coats, bias, very draped, and very pleated skirts require more cloth than straight cuts and hence cost more. Example: Not to mention he was draped in those gaudy symbols. 4. Hanging loosely. Labels: broadly Example: They lay side by side, limbs draped, energy exhausted. Example: Completing the picture are some heavily draped power lines, a few meandering chickens and, looking completely incongruous, a dry docked, large and sleek, modern motor boat. 5. surrounding or surrounded. Labels: figuratively Example: Her energy is very draped. She is covering and caring for many that she loves and supports. The draping will extend as she moves forward on her path. Example: His comprehensive correspondence with the musician Heinrich Köselitz (pseudonym Peter Gast) for example reads like a single repository of meteorological lamentations and complaints about the daily weather: Nietzsche feels "very draped and hidden" again and again, incapable of any productivity, because the climate strikes him as an “absurd disorder" (eKGWB/BVN- 1888,1049 - letter from 20.06.1888 ).
