Note
An adjective built straight from a noun: gallery plus -ed, the suffix that means "having," as in walled or bearded, rather than the past participle of a verb. It is an either-or word, never more or less galleried, and it sits naturally before its noun. The American novelist Winston Churchill's The Celebrity (1897) has a Florentine galleried porch, and James A. Cooper's Cap'n Abe, Storekeeper (1917) has a rambling, galleried old inn.
