indented

Definitions

in- (into) + dent (tooth) + -ed = "bitten into." An indented coastline looks as if something took bites out of it; indented text has been pushed in from the margin. The adjective sense (especially the jagged-edge sense) is common enough to stand on its own from the verb indent.
