2 meanings of bordered

1
verb
Simple past and past participle of border.

Note
A regular verb, so one spelling does both jobs: hedges bordered the lawn; the lawn has always bordered the river. The transitive meanings (edging, enclosing, lying alongside) also take the passive, as in bordered by hedges. The figurative meaning does not. It needs on or upon and means came close to, as in a remark that bordered on rudeness. Before a noun, it becomes the adjective for edged things.
