Note
A regular past form, built with -ed, that does double duty: simple past on its own (she loosed the reins) and participle after have or be (had loosed, was loosed). Its pull is toward release rather than mere slackening. Arrows, a grip and a roar are all loosed, set free from what held them. An obsolete use meaning 'set sail' belongs only to older writing.
