GRAINED Meaning and
Definition
-
Grained is an adjective that describes a surface or texture characterized by having distinct, visible grains or a grain-like pattern. The term "grain" refers to the natural texture or arrangement of fibers, particles, or lines in a material. When something is described as grained, it means that its surface exhibits a noticeable pattern or texture resembling parallel lines, waves, or ridges.
This term is commonly used to describe materials such as wood and leather, where the natural grain pattern is highly prized for aesthetic or functional purposes. For instance, grained wood refers to wood surfaces that prominently display the natural texture and arrangement of the tree's growth rings, presenting a visually appealing pattern. Similarly, grained leather refers to hides that have retained their distinctive texture, showcasing the natural characteristics of the animal's skin.
In addition to wood and leather, the term grained can also be applied to other materials such as fabrics, paper, or metals that exhibit a visible grain-like pattern. This pattern can result from the manufacturing process, natural characteristics of the material, or intentional design choices. The term grained is thus often used to emphasize the unique texture and visual appeal of a surface, providing a distinct and recognizable appearance.
