Etymology: "Sashed" is simply the past tense and past participle of the verb "sash," meaning to wear a sash, so it is formed by adding the regular "-ed" ending to "sash." The noun "sash" is the older word, referring to a long band of cloth worn over one shoulder or around the waist, and it was borrowed into English from Arabic "šāš," a word for a fine muslin or turban cloth, passing through French and Spanish along the way. The verb grew out of that noun in the usual English way: a noun was turned into an action, so to sash someone meant to dress them in a sash. Because the verb is built directly on the noun, the past form "sashed" carries the same meaning as the noun, describing a person who has put on or is wearing one.
