- 1Simple past tense and past participle of sunset.
Management sunsetted the legacy software after years of declining use.
The deprecated interface was sunsetted in favor of a newer one.
Note
Built on a transitive verb meaning to phase out, it needs an object or a passive: management sunsetted the software, or the software was sunsetted. One spelling serves both the simple past and the participle after have or was. The verb shares ground with the noun's sense of a set termination date, and its spelling doubles the final t before -ed: sunsetted, not sunseted.
