An archaic past tense form of the verb 'heat' or an old English form meaning 'heated' or 'was heated.'
From Old English past tense forms before English standardized its verb conjugations. This represents how much English verb forms have simplified over centuries.
Old English had way more complex verb patterns than modern English—you'd see forms like 'ahet' for past tense that we'd now just say 'heated.' Standardizing verbs made English easier to learn but we lost some interesting variation.
