sinned
- 1Simple past and past participle of sin.
The preacher reminded the crowd that everyone present had sinned at some point.
She believed she sinned the moment she chose to lie about the money.
Note
A regular past form with one spelling quirk: the final n of sin doubles before -ed, as in other short verbs ending in a single consonant after a short vowel. Because the verb is intransitive, the participle normally pairs with have (had sinned, have sinned) rather than taking an object. The noun sin, a violation of divine law, has no such form, so the past tense always points back to the act.
