Etymology: "Builded" is an older form of "built," the past tense and past participle of "build." It is the form of the verb "build" that the system now calls its archaic or alternative past tense, and it survived in English for centuries alongside "built" before "built" became the standard form. Readers meeting "builded" in the King James Bible or in older poetry are reading a version of the verb that once sat in regular use, where it followed the familiar pattern of adding "-ed" to the stem.
