marginated
Having distinct borders
Marginated means having a distinct margin or border, typically of a different color or texture than the rest.
The term appears mainly in biology to describe organisms with clearly defined edges: marginated tortoise, marginated petals.
In medicine, marginated refers to white blood cells that have moved to and adhered to blood vessel walls rather than circulating freely.
