sunburnt

1. (of human skin) Having a sunburn or dark tan; having been burned by the sun's rays.Examples: "You sunburnt sicklemen, of August weary, / Come hither from the furrow and be merry:"; "[…] I must beg leave to say for my self, that I am as fair as most of my Sex and Country, and very little sun-burnt by my Travels."; "He looked and smelt like Autumn’s very brother, his face being sunburnt to wheat-colour, his eyes blue as corn-flowers, his sleeves and leggings dyed with fruit-stains […]"

2. (of plants and other objects) Dried out by the sun's rays.Examples: "1753, Arthur Murphy, The Gray’s-Inn Journal, No. 53, 20 October, 1753, London: P. Vaillant, 1756, Volume 2, p. 191, The barren Heath, and the Sun-burnt craggy Soil appear with all those Softenings to the Eye, which Distance throws upon a Landscape;"; "the well-remembered dusty road and sun-burnt fields"; "The […] fortress of the Incas stood on a lofty eminence, the steep sides of which […] were cut into terraces, defended by strong walls of stone and sunburnt brick."

3. (of places or objects) Subject to the strong heat and/or light of the sun.Examples: "So my dear Charles, you are at length […] arrived in our little sun-burnt island?"; "[…] when distances are obscured by mist […] the foreground assumes all its loveliest hues, the grass and foliage revive into their perfect green, and every sunburnt rock glows into an agate."; "Most of it [the island of Mauritius] was high […] so that gusts of fresh winds often blew exuberantly off the sea, and the British could build their villas far above the sunburnt coast."
