loaned

The word 'loaned' is the inflected past form of the verb 'loan'. The root 'loan' entered English from Old Norse 'lán', which meant "something granted for temporary use". This Old Norse term is related to the Old English 'lǣn', sharing a common Germanic ancestor with the sense of "to let have, to grant". The '-ed' suffix is the standard Germanic past tense marker, inherited from Proto-Germanic and ultimately from the Proto-Indo-European dental suffix -dʰ- or -t-. The semantic journey is direct: from the ancient concept of a temporary grant, the verb evolved to specifically mean lending property or money, and 'loaned' simply denotes the completed action of that lending.
