printed
UK: ˈprɪntɪd | US: ˈprɪntɪd
adj. marked with ink or dye by a printing process
v. (past tense and past participle of print) produced text or images by pressing inked surfaces onto paper
The word printed derives from the verb print, which entered Middle English from Old French preinte (impression, mark), itself from Latin premere (to press). The suffix -ed marks the past tense or past participle, indicating a completed action. The core idea of pressing or stamping to create marks has remained consistent through its evolution.
