undergot

undergot is an archaic or non-standard past tense form of the verb undergo, which means to experience, endure, or be subjected to something. the standard and accepted past tense of undergo is underwent, making undergot a rare linguistic variant that has fallen out of common usage. the term derives from old english roots where under meant "under" and go meant "to pass" or "to proceed". in historical texts, undergot might occasionally appear as a regional dialectical form or as an older variant before underwent became standardized. modern english speakers should use underwent when referring to past experiences of undergoing something, as undergot is not recognized in contemporary grammar. for example, one would say "she underwent surgery" rather than "she undergot surgery." the term serves as a linguistic curiosity, highlighting the evolution of english verb conjugation over time.
