belted
Wearing a sash
Belted describes something secured or struck with a belt, or something that has a belt as a feature.
A belted coat has a waist-cinching strap.
A belted kingfisher has a band of color across its chest.
To say someone belted a home run or belted out a song is to say they did it with force—the image is of a hard swing or blow.
