rented
UK: ˈrɛntɪd | US: ˈrɛntɪd
adj. (of property or goods) leased or hired for temporary use in exchange for payment
v. past tense and past participle of "rent" (to pay for temporary use of property or goods)
The word "rent" originates from the Old French "renter" (to yield income), derived from the Latin "redditus" (returned, given back), from "reddere" (to give back). The suffix "-ed" is a common English past tense marker, indicating completed action. Thus, "rented" literally means "having been given for temporary use in exchange for payment," reflecting its economic and contractual roots.
