American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language

Word History:

Why do we say went and not goed?

Go has always had an unusual past tense,

formed from a completely different rootfrom its present tense.

The replacement within a series of inflected forms

of one form by a completely unrelated form

is called suppletion.

(Another, even more extreme, example of suppletion in English

is found inthe paradigm be, am, are, was,

whose formsare originally from four different verbal roots.)

The past tense of go in Old English was ēode,

formed from an unrelated root that has no other verb forms in English.

Its modern replacement, went,

derives from old forms of the modern verb wend.

In Middle English

the original past tense and past participleof wenden,

"to go, turn," were wended and wend, respectively.

The forms wente and went appeared around 1200

and gradually displaced the older wended and wend.

The new past tense wente also took on a new use

as the past tense of go, replacing ēode.

By the beginning of the Modern English period, around 1500,

went was no longer used in any other way

and was therefore felt to be the normal past tense of go;

at the same time,

wend acquired the new form wended

for its past tense and past participle, meaning"turned."
