Balustraded → It is formed from "balustrade" (from Italian "balaustrata", meaning a railing or a row of balusters) and the suffix "-ed" (indicating a state or condition). The word "balustraded" describes something that is adorned or equipped with a railing made of balusters.
Imagine a structure that is 'adorned' ('-ed') with a decorative 'railing' ('balustrade') — that's what balustraded means.
