Added is the past tense and past participle of 'add', meaning something has been joined, included, or introduced to an existing thing — like sprinkling extra cheese on pizza or inserting a new clause in a contract. As an adjective, it describes something that wasn’t originally there but has now been incorporated, often enhancing or complicating the whole.

add
Comes from the Latin verb 'addere' (ad- 'to' + -dere 'to put, place'), meaning 'to put to' or 'to join to'. It conveys the core idea of combining, attaching, or increasing something by inclusion. Examples include add, addition, additional, additive, addendum, and redundant (from 're-' + 'addere', meaning 'to add again').
