abbreviated
UK: əˈbriːvieɪtɪd | US: əˈbriviˌeɪtɪd
adj. shortened; made briefer
vt. past tense of "abbreviate" (to shorten a word or phrase)
The word "abbreviated" traces back to Latin abbreviatus, combining ab- (meaning "away from") and breviare ("to shorten"), derived from brevis ("short"). The morpheme brevi survives in English as the root for brevity, brief, and abbreviate. The suffix -ated marks it as a past participle, indicating a completed action. This reflects the logical progression from "making something short" to its current meaning of "condensed" or "shortened."
