/kənˈsʌmptɪd/ verb

Definition

Archaic past tense form meaning consumed or used up; formed from consumpt.

Etymology

Archaic past tense of consumpt, combining the root with -ed suffix. This form appears in Middle and Early Modern English texts but is now obsolete.

Kelly Says

English loves redundancy! Even archaic words got double past tenses (consumpt and consumpted), which is why Shakespeare sometimes sounds weird to us—he was already using old forms.
