monitored
- 1Simple past and past participle of monitor.
Engineers monitored the bridge for signs of stress during the storm.
The patient was monitored continuously in intensive care.
Note
One spelling does two jobs: the plain past (she monitored the readings) and the participle that follows have or be (has been monitored, was monitored). Because monitor is transitive, since you always monitor something, the passive comes naturally and the thing being watched becomes the subject. The form is regular, and the final r is not doubled. The stress falls on the first syllable, so it is monitored, never monitorred.
