    verb
    Past tense and past participle of fringe.

    Palm trees fringed the beach, and the water beyond them was perfectly still.

    The tablecloth had been fringed by hand with silk thread.

    Note

    Two verbs share the form, and the subject sorts them out: palm trees that fringed the beach simply lined its edge, while a tablecloth fringed by hand had a decorative border sewn on. As a participle it takes with when the edging is named (a shawl fringed with silk), and the same form serves as the plain adjective in a fringed jacket.
