stamped
word · lemma: stamp
Definition
Marked or printed with a stamp, especially an official mark, or pressed down forcefully with the foot.
Usage & Nuances
Often describes documents, envelopes, or papers made official with a stamp. Can also describe something pressed firmly, especially with feet (e.g., 'stamped out a fire').
