listed

1. 1
   verb

   Simple past and past participle of list.

   The report listed all the safety problems found during the inspection.

   Each name was listed in alphabetical order.

   Note

   A regular past form that does double duty: she listed the faults (simple past), the faults have been listed (perfect), the faults were listed (passive). The passive easily hardens into the adjective "on a list", as in a listed number. Not every listed means enumerated. The same spelling serves the verbs for edging cloth with strips, ploughing with a lister, and, in the Southern US, bedding land for cotton.

2. 2
   adjective

   Their address is listed in the city's public registry.

   Only listed charities qualified for the tax exemption.

   Note

   A British planning term, used of buildings and other structures rather than of people or companies. Its natural partner is building: a town can boast 600-odd listed buildings, and Birmingham Town Hall is one of them. The label has practical weight, because it restricts what may be attached to the fabric. Battery-powered trams were chosen partly so that no overhead infrastructure had to be fixed to listed buildings along the route.
