alteredadj.n.

Brit.

/ˈɔːltəd/,

/ˈɒltəd/, U.S.

/ˈɔltərd/,

/ˈɑltərd/

Forms: see alter v. and -ed suffix¹.

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: alter v., -ed suffix¹.

Etymology: < alter v. + -ed suffix¹.With sense A. 1 compare similar uses of Middle French alteré , French altéré (attested from the late 14th cent. in the specific sense ‘stupefied, mentally disturbed’, from the second half of the 15th cent. in the general sense ‘changed’). In sense A. 2 probably after Middle French alteré thirsty (1532 in Rabelais, in the passage translated in quot. 1653 at sense A. 2; French altéré ), use as adjective of past participle of alterer to become thirsty (end of the 15th cent., used reflexively), to provoke thirst (end of the 15th cent.), to be thirsty (1532 in Rabelais), apparently a (not fully explained) semantic development of alterer alter v., which is attested in the 15th cent. in senses ‘to disturb, trouble (a person's mind)’ and ‘(of a person) to become weak’ (in the latter case, used reflexively). Compare use in quot. 1605 at altering adj. 1a.

A. adj.
