backboned

/bˈækbənd/ adj

Having a spine.

Word Origin Backboned comes from backbone, a compound of back and bone — literally the bone that runs along your back. The -ed suffix turns it into an adjective meaning 'having a backbone.' Both back and bone are native English words from Proto-Germanic. Backbone also figuratively means courage, so backboned can mean having strength of character.
