Foun

/faʊn/ verb

Definition

An obsolete or dialect past participle of 'find,' meaning to have discovered or located something.

Etymology

From Old English 'findan' and its past participle 'funden.' This shortened form 'foun' appeared in Middle English dialects before modern English standardized 'found' as the regular past tense and participle.

Kelly Says

English used to have many irregular past tenses like 'foun,' 'speken,' and 'eaten,' but over centuries, these irregular forms got replaced by the regular '-ed' pattern—'foun' disappeared completely except in very old texts.
