Origin of 'putted'

The word 'put' originates from the Old English 'putian', which meant to put or place something. Its roots can be traced back to Proto-Germanic *putōną, and over time it evolved through different dialects and periods of English language development. The form 'putted' arose from an attempt to create a past tense based on the typical pattern of adding '-ed' to verbs, similar to how other regular verbs form their past tense. However, 'put' is an irregular verb, and its past tense remains 'put', which reflects the unique evolution of English verb conjugations throughout history. The misconception of 'putted' appearing in English stems from the tendency to regularize verbs, but it remains nonstandard.
