- 1Simple past and past participle of haven.

Note
The n stays single before -ed because the stress falls on the first syllable, as in opened or listened. One spelling serves as both past tense and past participle, and the verb always takes an object: a ship brought into harbor, or people given shelter. The passive is natural for the second use, since the people sheltered are the point of the sentence: the refugees were havened in mountain villages.
