Dozened

/ˈdʌzənd/ adjective

Definition

Grouped, counted, or arranged in dozens; organized by twelves.

Etymology

Past participle of the verb 'dozen' (to arrange in groups of twelve), derived from 'dozen' itself. This reflects the English tendency to verb nouns—turning the quantity 'dozen' into an action 'to dozen.'

Kelly Says

English loves turning nouns into verbs—if you can 'Google' something and 'Uber' somewhere, you can definitely 'dozen' things! This word shows how flexible English grammar actually is.
