Bespeckled or bespectacled

To bespeckle something, one must shower it with tiny dots or flecks of color. Then the item is bespeckled. You could also simply speckle the object, which means the same thing (to cover it with speckles).

For an item to be bespectacled, it must be wearing eyeglasses. This word is only found in its adjective form and does not have a verbal form.

These words are often confused and one should be clear if the meaning should refer to a speck or some specs.
