mortared
Fixed with paste
Mortared describes something bonded or built with mortar—the paste of cement, lime, and sand that hardens between bricks or stones: a mortared stone wall, carefully mortared joints.
The term distinguishes construction using mortar from dry-stacked alternatives.
Separately, mortared can mean attacked with mortar fire: The village was mortared throughout the night.
