Root Explanation

Streamed → It is formed from "stream" (from Old English *stream*, meaning a flow of water) and the suffix "-ed" (indicating a completed action). The word "streamed" means to have flowed or been transmitted in a continuous manner, often referring to media or data.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'flow of water' ('stream') that has been 'completed' ('-ed') — that's why streamed means something has flowed continuously.
