margined

1. 1
   verb

   Simple past and past participle of margin.

   The editor margined the proofs before sending them to the binder.

   Each sheet was margined widely to leave room for corrections.

   Note

   One past form covers three different transitive actions: giving a page or surface a margin, writing notes into the margin, and trading securities on margin, meaning against collateral. Because the verb takes an object, the passive comes naturally (the sheets were margined, the shares were margined), and only context tells the actions apart. Before a noun, with no action in view, it shades into the plain 'bordered' adjective.

2. 2
   adjective

   Having a distinct edge or border.

   The botanist sketched the margined leaves, each rimmed with a band of lighter green.

   The catalog featured margined plates, bordered in fine red ink.

   Similarbordered, edged, rimmed
