Etymology: "Bobulated" is the past participle of "bobulate," a verb built from a base plus the "-ate" ending that English took from Latin "-atus," the participle marker that gave many verbs such as "create" and "dedicate." The final "-ed" marks the same past-participle role in English, so the word works as both a past action and an adjective describing something that has undergone it.
