inventoried
- 1Simple past and past participle of inventory.
The auditors inventoried the museum's entire collection over three months.

Note
Spelling does the work here: the final -y of inventory becomes -ied, as in carry and carried. Because the verb is transitive (you inventory something), the participle turns passive easily, as in the stock was inventoried. It can also stand before a noun as an adjective and even take degrees: a more inventoried archive, the most inventoried collection. The simple past stands alone, while the participle pairs with have or be.
