Note
A verb made from the noun for a partner in a shared activity, so its core use is transitive: someone is buddied with someone else, usually by whoever is in charge. That makes the passive natural (recruits were buddied with mentors), and the past participle carries it. The spelling follows the usual rule for a consonant plus y: the y becomes i before -ed, as in carried.
