Definition

From 'a-' (prefix indicating state or action) + 'dream' + '-ed' (past tense marker). An old-fashioned construction no longer commonly used in modern English.

Kelly Says

This is what happens when English was still experimenting with its verb forms—'adreamed' combines an archaic prefix with a regular past tense, showing language evolution in real time.
