Note
A theater noun put to work as a verb: whatever backdropped a scene served as the painted cloth hung behind it. The final p doubles before -ed, and one spelling covers both the plain past (peaks backdropped the ceremony) and the participle. Because the verb is transitive, the participle often turns up in the passive with by: an interview backdropped by bookshelves.
