How to say "patterned" in Japanese

• 有文うもん
  no-adjectiveCovers 'patterned' in the concrete sense of an object bearing a decorative design, such as clothes or pottery. A less common word, it suits descriptive writing about garments or ceramics.
• 類型的るいけいてき
  na-adjectiveA less common adjective, it covers figurative 'patterned': behavior, thinking, or expression that follows a fixed, repeated pattern, close to 'stereotyped' or 'typical'; it does not describe decorated objects.
• 絵羽えば
  prenominal modifier, nounAn abbreviation and a narrow, specialist term for figured — that is, patterned — fabric. Unless you are writing about textiles, this is seldom the word you want for 'patterned'.

Choose 有文 for objects such as clothes or pottery that carry a decorative pattern, 類型的 for figurative 'patterned' behavior or thinking, and 絵羽 as a specialist abbreviated term you will seldom need.
