  1. Bitted (adjective) refers to something that has had a bit attached to it, or has been fitted with a bit. A bit, in this context, is a metal mouthpiece that is used to control a horse when it is being ridden or driven.

    Additionally, "bitted" can also be used metaphorically to describe a person or animal that is being controlled or restrained. It implies that the subject is in a state of submission or under someone else's authority or influence. However, in general usage, "bitted" primarily pertains to the physical action and state of attaching a bit to a horse's bridle or harness for the purpose of control and communication.
