shingled
Layered like scales
Shingled describes something covered with shingles—overlapping flat pieces used as roofing or siding.
A shingled roof has rows of wooden, slate, or asphalt tiles layered to shed water.
The word extends to anything arranged in overlapping rows: shingled hair is cut in layered lengths.
A shingled beach is covered with smooth, flat pebbles rather than sand.
