tiered
Arranged in levels
Tiered describes something arranged in tiers—horizontal levels stacked one above another.
A tiered wedding cake has multiple layers of decreasing size.
Tiered seating rises in rows so each has a clear view.
The word extends to abstract levels: tiered pricing offers different rates for different service levels, and a tiered system has distinct grades or ranks.
