waled
Striped with ridges
Waled describes something marked with wales—raised ridges or stripes.
Fabric may be waled from weaving, as in corduroy's distinctive ribbed texture.
Skin becomes waled from whip strikes, the welts rising in parallel lines.
A waled surface shows the pattern of whatever pressed or struck it: His back was waled from the beating.
