How Do You Spell REBUILDED?

Pronunciation: [ɹɪbˈɪldɪd] (IPA)

The spelling of the word "rebuilded" is actually incorrect. In English, the past tense of "rebuild" is formed by adding "-ed" to the end, resulting in "rebuilt" (IPA: /ˈriː.bɪlt/). While adding "-ed" is a common way to form the past tense of verbs, there are irregular past tense forms in English that don't follow this pattern. It's always a good idea to double-check the correct spelling and grammar before using a word in writing or speech.

Etymology of REBUILDED

The word rebuilded is a formation of the verb rebuild with the past tense ending -ed. However, it is worth noting that rebuilded is considered archaic or obsolete and is not commonly used in contemporary English.

The etymology of rebuild can be traced back to the Old English word rebyldan, which meant to rebuild or construct again. It is a combination of the prefix re- (meaning again) and the verb byldan (meaning to build). Over time, rebyldan transformed into rebuild in Middle English, and the transformation to rebuilded occurred to form the past tense. Eventually, this form went out of use, and rebuilt became the standard past tense of rebuild.
