cheeked
Gave lip to
Cheeked describes having cheeks of a specified kind, almost always with a modifier: rosy-cheeked children, hollow-cheeked from hunger, a chubby-cheeked baby.
The word rarely appears alone.
To cheek someone is to speak impudently to them, making cheeked also the past tense: She cheeked her teacher and got detention.
