fletched(形容词/过去分词):装有箭羽的;带羽毛作尾翼的(尤指箭)。常用于描述箭矢的尾部被羽毛(箭羽)稳定飞行。
(动词原形:fletch = 给箭装箭羽)
/flɛtʃt/
The arrow was fletched with white feathers.
那支箭装着白色的箭羽。
He inspected each fletched shaft carefully before the hunt, making sure the feathers were aligned for a steady flight.

来自中古英语 flecchen/fletchen,意为“装箭羽、给箭加羽毛”。与“羽毛/箭羽”的概念相关,最初指制作箭矢时在尾部加羽毛以稳定飞行;后来 fletched 常作形容词,直接表示“有箭羽的”。
