reinforced
Given extra support
Reinforced describes something that has been strengthened or supported, typically by adding material or structure.
Reinforced concrete contains steel bars or mesh for added tensile strength.
Reinforced stitching uses extra thread or layers to prevent tearing.
The word implies deliberate fortification against stress or failure: reinforced security measures, reinforced packaging.
