"foldered" adjective

English Language & Usage Asked by fiazai on June 29, 2021

I’m looking for an adjective that conveys that something is stored in a folder. “Foldered”. Only no dictionary I browsed treats folder as a verb. And fold, enfold, infold do not seem to carry that specific in-a-folder meaning. Google returns 23800 results for “foldered”, though… Should I go with the masses?

I found a Wikipedia explanation of foldering that is more specific than what you have in mind (A communicates with B electronically, without a paper trail, by working in a shared gmail account, writing a draft email, which can be erased after it's been read).

It sounds as though that's not what you're looking for, but rather

to file

to arrange (papers, records, etc.) in convenient order for storage or reference (dictionary.com)

The adjective would be filed, e.g. See if the Houseman estate is filed under H, will you?
