learned
English
Etymology 1
From Middle English lerned, lernd, lernyd, equivalent to learn +? -ed, which replaced the earlier lered (“taught”), from Old English (?e)l?red, past participle of l?ran (“to teach”). Learn formerly had the meaning “to teach”, which is now found only in nonstandard speech, as well as its standard meaning of “to learn”.
Alternative forms

- (US) IPA(key): /?l?n?d/

Usage notes
- This adjectival sense of this word is sometimes spelled with a grave accent, learnèd. This is meant to indicate that the second ‘e’ is pronounced as /?/ or /?/, rather than being silent, as in the verb form. This usage is largely restricted to poetry and other works in which it is important that the adjective’s disyllabicity be made explicit.
