Affected with or having gleet; suffering from an abnormal urethral discharge.
Adjective form of 'gleet' created by adding '-ed' (Old English '-ed' suffix used to form past participles and adjectives). Used in medical contexts to describe the condition of having gleet.
Medical English often adds '-ed' to create adjectives describing conditions—'infected,' 'diseased,' 'gleeted'—making it easy to describe the state of being affected by something. This pattern goes back to Middle English medical writing.
