    Note

    One regular -ed spelling does two jobs: the simple past (the stench nauseated her) and the participle after have or in the passive (she was nauseated by the footage). The verb covers both causing sickness and causing disgust. After was or felt, the form shades into the "feeling sick" adjective, and often only a by-phrase naming the cause marks it as a verb.
