summed
SaySUMD/sʌmd/
- 1Simple past and past participle of sum.
The accountant summed the quarterly figures before the meeting.
Once the votes were summed, the result was beyond dispute.
Note
The doubled m is the spelling to watch: a single short vowel before a single final consonant doubles that consonant before -ed, so sum becomes summed, not sumed. One form serves as both past tense (she summed the column) and participle (the votes were summed; he had summed them). It carries both meanings of the verb, adding figures together and giving a summary, and in each it takes a direct object.
