The word "inputted" is derived from the verb "input".
The verb "input" comes from the noun "input", which originated in the field of computing during the latter half of the 20th century. It was formed by combining the prefix "in-" (meaning "in" or "into") and the noun "put" (meaning "to place or enter something"). The term was used to describe the action of supplying data or information into a computer system.
Over time, the regular past tense form of "input" became "inputted" by adding the common past tense suffix "-ed" to the base form. It is worth noting that some dictionaries also accept the irregular past tense form "input" without the "-ed" ending.
