barbered
USBAR-burd/ˈbɑɹ.bɚd/UKBAH-buhd/ˈbɑː.bəd/
- 1Simple past and past participle of barber.
He barbered customers six days a week until he finally retired.
The groom's hair was carefully barbered for the ceremony.
Note
One spelling does both jobs, as with any regular verb: he barbered customers for years; his hair had been barbered short. Only the hair-cutting verb can go passive, because it takes an object. The same form also carries the American slang verb meaning "to chatter." That verb takes no object, so it never turns passive: the men barbered on the porch all evening, but nobody was barbered.
