Root Explanation
Spouted → It is formed from "spout" (from Middle English *spouten*, meaning to emit or discharge) and the suffix "-ed" (indicating a past action). The word "spouted" means having emitted or discharged liquid or air from a spout.
Memory Tip
Think of something that has 'emitted' ('spout') liquid or air, and the '-ed' shows that this action has already happened.
