Root Explanation
Typed → It is formed from "type" (from Latin *typus*, meaning a model or impression) and the suffix "-ed" (indicating a completed action). The word "typed" refers to the action of having produced text using a typewriter or keyboard, indicating that the action is completed.
Memory Tip
Think of a 'type' as a model or impression that you create with your fingers on a keyboard, and the '-ed' shows that this action has been completed.
