implemented
USIM-pluh-men-tid/ˈɪmpləmɛntɪd/UKIM-pli-men-tid/ˈɪmplɪmɛntɪd/
- 1Simple past and past participle of implement.
The city implemented stricter recycling rules this spring.
Once the policy was implemented, complaints dropped sharply.
Note
One spelling does double duty here. It is the simple past (the city implemented new rules), and after have or be it is the participle of perfect and passive clauses (the rules were implemented). Both verb meanings carry over: putting a plan into practice, and the engineer's sense of realizing a specification, as when an interface or protocol is implemented. The tool called an implement is a noun and has no such form.
