Mine is Architected. It always makes me think of
someone bludgeoning
people by swinging an architect around by his/her ankles...
Mine is "burglarized" (or "-ised"). The noun is "burglar",
the verb is
"burgle", and the past tense is "burgled". "To burglarize"
would be to
turn someone into a burglar.
