Caucussed

/ˈkɔːkəst/ verb

Definition

British past tense of caucus, using the double-s spelling convention common in British English before adding -ed.

Etymology

From caucus with British spelling doubling the final consonant (caucuss-) before adding -ed. British English often doubles final consonants differently than American English, creating this variant form.

Kelly Says

This is a fun example of how American and British English diverged—while Americans write 'caucused,' the British would say 'caucussed,' turning one historical word into two orthographic cousins.
