Descriptor formed by standard adjective formation from the noun 'liver', meaning 'having a liver (of a certain colour or quality)'.

Etymology

Livered meaning 'having a liver colour' comes from the brownish colour of the liver organ, so when a dog or bird is called 'livered' it simply means it has that rich brown 'liver' shade.
