Etymology: "Ribbited" is the past tense of "ribbit," the imitation of a frog's call. "Ribbit" is onomatopoeic: it was formed by imitating the sound a frog makes, rather than being built from existing English or classical parts. The word is therefore a sound made into a verb, and its past tense follows the regular English pattern of adding "-ed."

Synonyms: croaked, ribbeted
