An offensive and now-obsolete term historically meaning to cheat or swindle someone, or to treat someone according to harmful 'Gypsy' stereotypes.
From 'Gypsy' (the slur) with the past participle/adjectival suffix '-ed', indicating a state of having been cheated. A prejudicial term that conflated Romani people with dishonesty.
Linguistic historians note that this word family reveals how completely a slur can infiltrate everyday speech—people once casually said things were 'gypsied' without always realizing they were repeating a harmful stereotype every time they used it.
