Note
Behind this form stands the verb rather than the familiar adjective: frequent in the sense "to visit often," a transitive verb that takes the place itself as its object. Artists frequented cafés, with no preposition in between, and the passive comes just as naturally, as in a tavern frequented by sailors. The adjective frequent means "occurring often." The -ed ending signals that someone's habit of visiting is being described.
