cogged

Fitted with teeth

Cogged describes something fitted with cogs—the teeth on a gear or wheel that mesh with another gear to transmit motion.

A cogged belt has teeth that grip a pulley.

Cogged also means cheated or manipulated, from an old sense of loading dice: a cogged game, cogged dice.

This use is rare outside historical contexts.
