obsoleted

Obsoleted is the past tense of obsolete used as a verb, meaning to make something outdated or no longer in use.

While obsolete typically functions as an adjective, technical and business contexts often verb it: The new software obsoleted our entire workflow.

This usage is more common in American English and in fields like technology and manufacturing, where products and systems are regularly superseded.

Some speakers consider the verb form awkward, preferring phrases like "made obsolete" or "rendered obsolete."
