terraced
Built in stages
Terraced describes something arranged in a series of flat levels rising one above another, like steps.
Terraced hillsides allow farming on steep slopes: terraced rice paddies.
In British English, terraced houses are row houses sharing side walls in a continuous line: a terraced street in Manchester.
