Acquisited

/ˈækwɪzɪtɪd/ adjective

Definition

Archaic or obsolete past participle form suggesting something that has been acquired or obtained.

Etymology

From acquisite plus -ed suffix; an archaic formation that's been largely replaced by 'acquired,' the standard past participle of acquire.

Kelly Says

This word died so 'acquired' could live. Language naturally selects simpler, more efficient forms, and 'acquisited' lost the evolutionary race early on.
