UK: ˈredʒ.ɪ.stəd | US: ˈredʒ.ɪ.stɚd
adj. officially recorded or entered in a list or system
v. (past tense of "register") to have recorded one's name or details formally
The word "registered" derives from the Latin "regesta" (a list or record), via Old French "registre." The root "register" originally referred to a written record, and the suffix "-ed" marks it as a past participle or adjective. Over time, "registered" evolved to describe anything formally recorded, reflecting its bureaucratic and legal origins.
