Past tense of 'bide'; stayed, remained, or waited (archaic), as in the phrase 'bide one's time.'
From Old English 'bīdan' meaning to remain or wait. The '-ed' past tense form is now archaic, though 'bide' survives in the common phrase 'bide one's time' meaning to wait patiently.
Though 'bided' is nearly dead in English, 'bide one's time' is still alive and well—it's a fossil phrase, preserved like amber, showing an Old English verb that would otherwise have completely disappeared from the language.
