analyzed

Analyzed is the past tense and past participle of the verb analyze. In American English the base verb is analyze, with the past tense analyzed and the present participle analyzing; in British English the corresponding forms are analyse and analysed, with analysing. The term denotes the act of examining something in detail to reveal its elements, structure, or meaning, typically by breaking it down into components, testing hypotheses, or comparing with data. As an adjective, analyzed data or analyzed results refers to information that has been subjected to such examination.

Originating from the Greek analysis (ana- meaning up or again and lysis meaning loosening or breaking apart) via Latin analysis and Old French analyser, the English verb was formed through the Early Modern period. The noun is analysis, with plural analyses; the adjective forms analytic or analytical are used in related senses.

Usage: Analyzed data are common in scientific reporting, data analysis, and qualitative research. The phrase “the data were analyzed” indicates that systematic procedures were applied. The term also appears in computing, statistics, and forensic or investigative contexts where evidence or code has been examined. The choice of spelling signals dialect (analyzed/analyser vs analysed/analyzing) and regional conventions.

Examples: The researchers analyzed the dataset to identify correlations. The analyzed results supported the hypothesis.
