chived

chived means seasoned with chives.

Why “chived” is a great word

Seasoned with or containing chives. From the noun 'chive' (a herb of the genus Allium, related to the onion) + the adjectival suffix '-ed'. Unlike 'alliaceous,' which broadly connotes the pungent aroma of the onion genus, or 'herbed,' a vague umbrella term for any culinary greenery, 'chived' specifies with botanical precision. It is the faint, grassy onion scent rising from a bowl of cold sour cream, the vivid green confetti scattered over a steaming baked potato, the delicate, tubular garnish adorning a deviled egg—a minor but decisive flourish that transforms the merely finished into the consciously composed.

adj

Seasoned with chives.
