gevoed

"Fed" or "nourished."

In this sentence, "gevoed" is used as the past participle of "voeden" (to feed), indicating the completed action of feeding.

I have already fed the cat.

Here, "gevoed" metaphorically denotes nurturing or fostering, extending the term's meaning beyond physical feeding.

Mijn interesse in geschiedenis werd gevoed door verhalen van mijn grootvader.

My interest in history was nurtured by stories from my grandfather.

In this example, "gevoed" again serves as the past participle of "voeden", used in a context where plants are provided nutrients, illustrating its broader application to both literal and extended nourishment.

De planten zijn gevoed met organische mest.

The plants have been fed with organic fertilizer.
