Past tense of gossip; talked informally and often critically about other people and their affairs.
Simple past tense of 'gossip,' derived from Old English 'godsibb.' The word has been used as a verb since the 15th century, replacing an earlier meaning about sharing news with one's godparent figure.
The spelling with double 'p' before '-ed' follows a rule that makes pronunciation snap crisply—'gossipped' feels chattier than if it were spelled 'gossiped,' almost like the word mimics its own meaning.
Variant spelling of 'gossiped' (double-p), carries the same gendered connotations of the base verb.
Same as 'gossiped' — use precise verbs like 'discussed', 'shared', or 'exchanged information.'
