Buccanned

/bəˈkænd/ verb

Definition

Alternative or variant past tense of buccan; prepared or cured meat using traditional smoking methods.

Etymology

From 'buccan' with double '-n' before '-ed', an alternative spelling of the past tense form.

Kelly Says

The double 'n' in 'buccanned' is a spelling variation that shows regional or historical preferences in English—both 'buccaned' and 'buccanned' were acceptable, similar to how 'planning' has two n's but 'opening' has one.
