Componented

/kəmˈpoʊnəntəd/ adjective

Definition

Made up of or composed of components; having distinct parts or elements.

Etymology

From 'component' + '-ed' (suffix forming adjectives). This rare past-participle-turned-adjective is less common than the base word 'component' itself.

Kelly Says

The '-ed' suffix normally marks past tense on verbs, but it's also used to form adjectives meaning 'having' something (like 'talented' or 'skilled')—'componented' follows this pattern but is so uncommon that 'component' is almost always used instead.
