In heraldry, covered with or filled with cleches; a surface charged with multiple clech shapes.
From French 'clechée,' the feminine form of 'cleche.' The '-ee' ending (from French '-ée') indicates that the heraldic field is covered or charged with the pattern or shape.
A heraldic 'clechee' field looks like a repeating pattern of hollow squares, and medieval craftspeople who designed them carefully—precise geometry was a way to show nobility and order in coat-of-arms design.
