fantasied
- 1Simple past and past participle of fantasy. Rare; fantasized is the usual form.

Note
A regular verb that sits behind a familiar noun: fantasy turns its final y into -ied, so one spelling serves both the past tense and the participle (she fantasied; she had fantasied). It works with an object or without one, as in to fantasy a different life or to fantasy about one. The same spelling doubles as the adjective for imagined things. An older, now obsolete use meant simply to take a liking to something.
- 2Filled with imaginations or fancies; shaped by imagination rather than by reality.
His fantasied account of the battle bore little resemblance to the official records.
Her fantasied recollections of childhood grew more elaborate with every retelling.
