    verbobsolete
    Past tense of grave. The verb is now rare.
    Note

    A regular past for a verb that has otherwise fallen out of use: every meaning of grave behind it, from to dig and to carve to to engrave, to bury and to fix something deeply in the mind, is now obsolete. Graved takes the ordinary -ed ending, while the older strong participle graven lingers in fixed phrases such as graven image. In modern prose, carved or engraved does the same work without sounding antique.
