marketed
- 1Simple past and past participle of market.

Note
One spelling does double duty as past tense and past participle, as with any regular verb. The commercial meaning of promoting and selling takes an object, so it passes easily into the passive: a drug is marketed under a brand name. The older meaning of trading or shopping at a market takes no object and has no passive. In "she marketed every Saturday," the form can only be past tense or follow have.
