Bicarburetted

/ˌbaɪˈkɑːrbəˌrɛtɪd/ adjective

Definition

British spelling variant of bicarbureted; containing two equivalents of carbon in a combined form.

Etymology

Variant spelling with -tted (British English spelling convention) of bicarbureted. Both forms emerge from bi- + carburet + -ed.

Kelly Says

British English loved doubling that final 't' before adding '-ed' to short words—it's the same reason they write 'travelled' while Americans write 'traveled'!
