Facultied

/ˈfækəltid/ adjective

Definition

Possessing faculties or abilities; equipped with powers; rarely used in modern English.

Etymology

From faculty + -ed (participial adjective suffix). An archaic formation meaning 'having been given faculties' or 'endowed with abilities.'

Kelly Says

This word is practically extinct—you might find it in old literature describing someone as 'facultied with reason' instead of just saying 'rational,' but modern English abandoned it.
