Root Explanation
Edited → It is formed from "edit" (from Latin "editus", meaning brought forth or published) and "-ed" (a suffix indicating past tense). The word "edited" means that something has been brought forth or published in a revised form.
Memory Tip
Think of something that has been 'brought forth' ('edit') in a 'past' state ('-ed') — that's why edited means it has been revised or published.
