Pronunciation: [tˈa͡ɪdɪd] (IPA) 
Tided is a past tense verb that refers to the act of rising and falling of the ocean. It is pronounced as /ˈtaɪ.dɪd/ with a long "i" sound and a soft "d" at the end. The word is often used in context with the tide, which is the periodic pattern of the rising and falling of the sea. The correct spelling of this word includes a "d" at the end, unlike the similar word "tide" which lacks the "d."
Tided is the past tense and past participle form of the verb "tide." It refers to the action of rising or falling of the sea or other large bodies of water in a predictable and regular pattern. In this sense, it is often associated with the gravitational influence of the moon and the sun. The tides are subject to various factors, including the Earth's rotation, the position of celestial bodies, and the shape of land masses. Tides occur twice in a lunar day, which is approximately 24 hours and 50 minutes.
However, "tided" can also have a metaphorical connotation. It can be used to express the act of overcoming a difficult or challenging situation. In this sense, it signifies moving forward or progressing through a tough period and reaching a more favorable outcome. This metaphorical usage suggests that just as the tide ebbs and flows, life experiences can go through highs and lows, but eventually, positive change or resolution will occur.
To summarize, "tided" has a primary meaning related to the rising and falling of the sea due to gravitational forces, and a secondary meaning associated with the metaphorical overcoming of challenges or difficulties.

The word "tided" is the past participle form of the verb "tide". The etymology of "tide" can be traced back to the Old English word "tid", which meant "time" or "period". This Old English word is derived from the Proto-Germanic word "*tidiz".
The similar meaning of "tide" as we understand it today, referring to the rise and fall of the sea, came into use in Middle English. The connection between the two meanings is that the idea of "tide" originally referred to periods or times, and the movement of the sea was observed to be occurring in regular and predictable intervals or "times".
Over time, the verb form "tide" developed, meaning to float or drift with the tide, or to conduct oneself according to the current circumstances or situation.
