How Do You Spell FASTED?

Pronunciation: [fˈastɪd] (IPA)

Fasted is generally spelled with an "ed" at the end, despite the fact that it is pronounced as a one-syllable word with a "t" ending sound. The IPA phonetic transcription for fasted is /ˈfæstɪd/. This discrepancy in spelling and pronunciation is due to the fact that fasted is an irregular verb, meaning it does not adhere to the typical pattern of past tense conjugation. Despite the unusual spelling, fasted is a commonly used word in the English language that refers to abstaining from food for a period of time.
