added
UK: ˈædɪd | US: ˈædɪd
vt. past tense and past participle of "add" (to combine or join something to increase quantity or value)
adj. describing something that has been included or combined
The word "added" originates from the Latin addere ("to give to, join"), composed of ad- (toward) and dare (to give). The suffix -ed marks the past tense or past participle in English, indicating completion of the action. Over time, "add" evolved in Middle English from Old French ader, retaining its core meaning of combining elements. The logical progression reflects the act of bringing things together ("toward" + "give") and later formalizing the grammatical structure with -ed.
