Connect expedited with removing an obstacle from someone’s feet so movement can continue quickly. It is the past form and past participle of expedite, and the ending is pronounced as an extra syllable, roughly “EK-spuh-dy-tid.” Learn it through formal collocations such as expedited approval, expedited review, and expedited shipping. These describe procedures or services deliberately made faster than the normal route. It is more precise than hurried: expedited usually implies that someone changed priorities, reduced delays, or used a faster process to reach completion sooner.

expedited の語源・成り立ち Etymology
expedited は expedite の過去形・過去分詞で、ラテン語 expedire「足をほどいて自由にする」に由来します。ex-「外へ」＋ ped-「足」の組み合わせで、「足がもつれず進める」から「手早く進める」となり、同根語に expedition、expedient があります。
Expedited is formed from expedite plus the past-tense and participial suffix -ed. Expedite comes from Latin expedire, which could mean freeing the feet from entanglement, making ready, or facilitating. It is associated with ex-, “out,” and pes or ped-, “foot.” The physical notion of being unhampered and ready to move developed into the modern sense of helping a task or process advance rapidly. Expedition and expedient are historically related forms.
