hyphened
SayHY-fuhnd/ˈhaɪ.fənd/
- 1Simple past and past participle of hyphen. Dated; hyphenated is now usual.
Note
A regular past form: one -ed spelling covers both the simple past (she hyphened the compound) and the participle in perfect and passive use (the term has been hyphened). The verb behind it is transitive, so it takes an object or appears in the passive. It is also dated. In current writing, hyphenated does the same work and is the safer choice, while hyphened now reads as old-fashioned.
