Etymology 1

From Middle English -te (preterite ending), -t (past participle ending), from Old English -te, -de (first and third person preterite ending), -t, -ed, -od (past participle ending), from Proto-Germanic *-id- (preterite stem ending of class 1 weak verbs) and *-idaz (past participle ending of class 1 weak verbs).

In some verbs, like lose/lost, the -t-/-t was merely an alteration of earlier -d-/-d during the Middle English period. See -ed.

Suffix

-t

  1. Forms the past tense and/or past participle of some verbs (leapt, kept, dreamt, blest, etc.)
Usage notes
  • Some verbs have both an -ed and a -t form. The -t form has become obsolete for many verbs, e.g. toucht, or is now limited to dialects, e.g. kilt.

Usually found on verbs with "eep" or "end" at the end (e.g. kept for keep, slept for sleep, wept for weep, bent for bend, sent for send, went for wend); more rarely for nasals and “l” (e.g. burnt for burn, dreamt for dream, dealt for deal, spelt for spell).

Etymology 2

From Middle English -t (e.g. aȝenst vs. aȝens (“against”)), likely resulting from -s + the, or various other words beginning with th-, t-.

Suffix

-t

  2. An excrescent ending appended to words suffixed with -s.
    against, amidst, amongst, betwixt, whilst, twicet
Usage notes
  • As with -st, in many cases when there is a shorter synonymous word (as in among/amongst), the form with -t is considered more formal, old-fashioned, affected, and British.
