Feuded

/ˈfjuːdɪd/ verb

Definition

Past tense of feud; engaged in a prolonged bitter quarrel or conflict, often between families or groups.

Etymology

From feud (from Old French faide, from Germanic *faiþu meaning enmity). The verb feuded means to carry on a feud, though it's less common than the noun form.

Kelly Says

Families that 'feuded' for generations created blood-feuds that lasted centuries—the Hatfields and McCoys or medieval clan wars show how feuds could span lifetimes and reshape entire communities.
