grouted
Filled with paste
Grouted is the past tense of grout, meaning to fill gaps or joints with grout—a paste-like material that hardens between tiles, bricks, or stones.
The bathroom floor was grouted yesterday.
Properly grouted tile prevents water damage and keeps surfaces secure.
The word appears most often in home improvement and construction contexts.
