lit
Language: English
Part of speech: adj
Pronunciation: ipa: /ˈlɪt/
rhymes: -ɪt
Forms: form: more lit
form: most lit
Etymology: Alteration of earlier light, from Middle English lighte, from Old English līhtte, first and third person singular preterite of līhtan (“to light”), by analogy with bit. More at light; compare fit (“fought”).
This form was proscribed during the 18th and 19th centuries, with lighted being preferred, but is now the most common past form of light.
