QUITTED Meaning and
Definition
-
Quitted is the past tense and past participle form of the verb "quit." The term "quit" is derived from the Old English word "cwitte," meaning "to pay a penalty" or "to set free." As a transitive verb, it refers to voluntarily leaving or ceasing an activity, job, or responsibility. To quit can imply a deliberate decision to stop doing something, often implying the desire for change, cessation, or relinquishment. It can encompass a wide range of contexts, such as quitting a job, quitting a habit or addiction, or quitting a sport or activity.
Used in the past tense, "quitted" indicates the completion of the action of quitting in the past. For example, "He quitted smoking last year" or "She quitted her job to pursue her passion." While the term "quit" is more commonly used instead of "quitted" in contemporary language, both forms are correct and interchangeable. It is worth noting that American English tends to favor "quit" as the past tense and past participle, while British English tends to use "quitted."
