dried
UK: draɪd | US: draɪd
adj. deprived of moisture; preserved by removing natural liquid
v. past tense and past participle of "dry" (to remove moisture)
The word "dried" originates from the Old English "drȳge," meaning "free from moisture." The suffix "-ed" was added to form the past tense and past participle of the verb "dry," as well as to create an adjective describing something that has undergone the process of drying. This follows the standard Germanic pattern of verb conjugation and adjective formation.
