Root Explanation
The word 'podded' originates from the word 'pod' (from Old English 'podd', meaning a seed vessel or a husk) and the suffix '-ed' (indicating a state or condition). Thus, 'podded' refers to something that is in the state of having pods or is characterized by pods.
Memory Tip
Think of a 'pod' as a seed vessel, and remember that 'podded' describes something that has or is filled with pods.
