Note
A past form that exists because negative also works as a verb, meaning to veto, contradict, disprove or neutralize. Only -d is added to the final e. The one spelling covers both the simple past and the participle, so it serves active and passive alike: a motion negatived, a claim negatived by later findings. Every verb meaning is transitive, so something is always being negatived.
