guyed
Secured with ropes
Guyed is the past tense of guy, meaning to secure or steady with ropes or cables called guy-wires: The tent was guyed to stakes in the ground.
A guyed tower or mast is one held upright by tensioned cables anchored at angles.
The term comes from the noun guy meaning a rope, not the informal word for a man.
