analysed

Analysed is the past tense and past participle of the verb analyse in British English. It denotes the action of examining something in detail to interpret its structure, components, or meaning, often to derive conclusions from data or observations.

The word derives from French analyser, from Latin analysis, and ultimately from Greek analusis, formed from ana- "up, through" and lysis "a loosening, dissolution." The American spelling is analyzed, with the -ize ending and -d in the past tense.

In academic and scientific writing, analysed figures or data refer to results that have been subjected to investigation. Stylistically, the phrase "the data were analysed" is common in British English, while American usage prefers "analyzed." Analysed can apply to qualitative or quantitative material, including documents, transcripts, samples, or measurements, when a detailed examination or interpretation has occurred.

Analysed is not a noun; related terms include analysis (the noun), analyst (the person who performs analysis), and analytical (the adjective describing a method or approach). The concept underpins formal methods such as data analysis, content analysis, and statistical analysis, where examination aims to reveal patterns, relationships, or insights.
