feathered
Feathered refers to the state of being covered with feathers, which are the flat appendages forming the plumage of a bird and consisting of a partly hollow horny shaft fringed with vanes of barbs. It could also mean having or resembling feathers, or having a fringe, edges or lines that looks like feathers, generally used in the context of art, design or hairstyles. Furthermore, in the context of rowing, "feathered" means turning the blade of the oar horizontally as it comes out of the water to reduce wind resistance.
