spiderwebbed

Shattered in pattern

Spiderwebbed describes something marked with a pattern resembling a spider's web—fine lines radiating outward or forming an intricate network.

Glass that has cracked but not shattered is spiderwebbed: The windshield was spiderwebbed from the impact.

The word extends to anything showing similar spreading, interconnected patterns: spiderwebbed cracks in old plaster, spiderwebbed veins on aging skin.
