taped
UK: teɪpt | US: teɪpt
adj. recorded or secured with adhesive tape
v. past tense and past participle of "tape" (to fasten or record using tape)
The word "tape" originates from Old English tæppe (a narrow strip of cloth), which evolved into Middle English tape. The suffix "-ed" is a common Germanic past tense marker, added to verbs to indicate completed action. "Taped" thus literally means "fastened or recorded using a strip of material," reflecting its dual modern usage in physical adhesion (e.g., taped boxes) and media recording (e.g., taped interviews).
She taped the note to the door before leaving.
The interview was taped for later broadcast.
He carefully taped the edges of the painting to protect them.
The broken handle was temporarily taped together.
They taped the meeting without informing the participants.
