experimented
- 1Simple past and past participle of experiment.
Early chemists experimented with various metals to find stronger alloys.
Researchers have experimented extensively with the new treatment.
Note
One -ed form serves both the simple past and the perfect: they experimented, they have experimented. In present-day English the verb is intransitive, so what is being tried follows with or on (experimented with alloys, experimented on mice) rather than standing as a direct object. Older English used it transitively, either to mean testing something or simply feeling or perceiving it. Both of those uses are now obsolete.
