-ed1 formative of the pp. of weak verbs. in OE.
-ed,
-ad (-od,
-ud), the vowels of which repr. the thematic vowels of the class to which the verbs belong, the suffix proper being
-d :- Gmc. *
-ǒaz :- IE. *
-tós, repr. by Skr.
-tás, Gr.
-tós (in verbal adjs.), L.
-tus. In some OE. verbs, the suffix being added immed. to the base appears as
-d, after unvoiced cons. as
-t; e.g.
seald, pp. of
sellan SELL,
boht, pp. of
byċġan BUY. In ME. the several OE. variants were levelled under
-ed; this
-ed is usu. retained in writing, although the pronunc. is normally reduced to
d or
t, e.g.
robed,
hoped. The pronunc.
-id occurs regularly in ordinary speech only in the endings
-ded,
-ted. A few pps., as
beloved,
blessed,
cursed, have escaped the tendencey to contraction when used as adjs.; and
learned as adj. is pronounced with
-id, but as pp. with
-d or
-t.
