Root Explanation
Timed → It is formed from "time" (from Old English *tima*, meaning a period or duration) and the suffix "-d" (indicating past tense or completed action). The word "timed" means that something has been measured or marked by a specific period or duration.
Memory Tip
Think of a specific 'period' ('time') that has been 'completed' ('-d') — that's why timed means something has been marked by a certain duration.
