fastened
FAS-uhnd/ˈfæsn̩d/UKFAH-suhnd/ˈfɑːsn̩d/
- 1Simple past and past participle of fasten.
The sailors fastened the ropes to the dock before the storm hit.

Note
One regular form does double duty here. It is the simple past (the sailors fastened the ropes), and after have or be it becomes the participle of perfect and passive clauses (the brooch was fastened). Because fasten works both with and without an object, the intransitive use carries over too: a coat that fastened at the neck needs no one doing the fastening.
