thicknessed

Thick nessed is an adjective formed from the noun thickness. It is used to describe something that has had its thickness increased or something that is characterized by a particular thickness. The term is not commonly used in contemporary English, and in most technical writing the past participle thickened or phrases such as increased in thickness are preferred.

In practice, thicknessed appears mainly in older or highly specialized texts. It may occur in discussions of materials processing, coatings technology, or wood processing where a layer, sheet, or component is described as having been made thicker to meet a specification. Because thickened or increased in thickness more clearly conveys the intended meaning to modern readers, thicknessed can come across as nonstandard or awkward in formal writing.

Examples cited in literature are relatively rare and tend to be context-specific. When encountered, thicknessed generally serves as a descriptor for a state achieved through a process (for example, a thicknessed film or a thicknessed panel), rather than as a routine technical term. Writers are advised to consider more widely understood terms such as thickened, increased in thickness, or thickness-adjusted to ensure clarity.
