1
verb
Simple past and past participle of staff.

Note
Only one meaning of the verb lies behind this form: to supply an organization with employees. The walking rod, the musical stave and the badge of office do not come into it. In the passive, staffed by names the people who do the work (staffed entirely by local residents). The same regular -ed form serves as both past tense and participle. Placed before a noun, as in a staffed station, it becomes the adjective.
