In the case of "binged", the "n" and "d" create a soft "g" sound, which is why it is spelled as such. The International Phonetic Alphabet transcription for "binged" is /bɪndʒd/.

The word "binged" is derived from the noun "binge", which entered English in the early 19th century. The origins of "binge" can be traced back to Scottish dialects, where it meant "to soak". Eventually, the term expanded to describe excessive drinking, often referring to extended periods of drinking heavily. Over time, the meaning of "binge" extended beyond drinking and came to encompass overindulgence or excessive consumption of any sort—such as food, entertainment, or even activities. The verb form, "binged", emerged to describe the act of engaging in such excessive behaviors.
