Note
The final n doubles before -ed, as it does in short verbs ending in one vowel and one consonant. One spelling then does two jobs: the simple past (she donned a raincoat) and the past participle (masks had been donned at the door). The verb always takes an object, the clothing or gear being put on, and it belongs only to the verb; the noun don, the university teacher, has no such form.
