lighted
UK: ˈlaɪtɪd | US: ˈlaɪtɪd
adj. illuminated or supplied with light
v. (past tense and past participle of light) to ignite or cause to start burning
The word "lighted" derives from the Old English līhtan (to illuminate) and līehtan (to alight or descend), both rooted in Proto-Germanic leuhtijaną. The suffix "-ed" marks it as a past tense or past participle form. Over time, "light" evolved to encompass both the concept of illumination ("light a lamp") and ignition ("light a fire"), with "lighted" serving as a regular inflection.
