Terraced in Malayalam
അട്ടം (attam) is a noun rather than the English adjective: the loft or upper storey under a roof, and by extension a terraced or staired building. In old Kerala houses it is where grain and tools were kept.

Dictionary entry

If you need terraced as a modifier, Malayalam forms it from the noun for storey; അട്ടം (attam) by itself names the structure.
