Root Explanation

Crafted → It is formed from "craft" (from Old English *cræft*, meaning skill or strength) and the suffix "-ed" (indicating the past tense or completed action). The word "crafted" means made with skill or artistry, indicating that something has been skillfully created or shaped.

Memory Tip

Think of 'craft' as a skill used to make something, and the '-ed' shows that this making has already happened. So, when you hear 'crafted', imagine something that has been skillfully made.
