Rented is an adjective that refers to something that is temporarily obtained or hired for a specific period of time in exchange for payment or consideration. It is commonly used to describe the act of renting or leasing tangible property, such as a house, apartment, car, furniture, or equipment.
When an item or property is rented, the person or entity that rents it is given the temporary right to use and occupy it, usually in accordance with a specific agreement or contract. The rental agreement typically outlines the terms and conditions, including the duration of the rental, the agreed-upon rental fee or payment, and any other relevant conditions or responsibilities for both the renter and the owner.
The concept of renting implies that the ownership of the rented item or property remains with the original owner, while the renter is granted the privileges and benefits of temporary possession and use. This allows individuals or businesses the flexibility to enjoy the use of various resources without incurring the long-term commitments and financial burdens associated with ownership.
In addition to physical property, the term "rented" can also be used metaphorically to describe the act of obtaining someone's time, skills, or services for a specific period, particularly in employment or professional contexts. In this sense, the rented individual is typically engaged on a temporary basis or for a specific project, rather than being a permanent member of the organization.

The word "rented" comes from the verb "rent", which originated from the Old English word "rentan". This Old English word evolved from the Old High German word "rendon" and the Germanic word "rendjan", meaning "to tear or split apart". In its original sense, "rent" meant tearing something apart as payment or compensation. Over time, the meaning of the word shifted to refer specifically to payment made for the use or occupancy of property, leading to the term "rented" to describe the state of occupying something in exchange for payment.
