dotted
Marked with spots
Dotted describes something marked or covered with dots: a dotted line, dotted swiss fabric.
A dotted line on a document indicates where to sign—hence sign on the dotted line means to commit formally to an agreement.
In music, a dotted note is lengthened by half its value.
To dot is to mark with dots or scatter across a surface: Farms dotted the valley.
