Etymology 1
en adjective :lbor la:-ātus<id:adjective>
First attested in the 15th century; en la -ātus 1, the perfect passive voice passive participle ending of first conjugation verbs, also used to form participial adjectives from nouns. Before en -ate was introduced as a suffix in Middle English, Latin-borrowed participial adjectives were written with final -at (Middle English enm desolat for modern en desolate) and could also be used as past participles (see en degenerate or en communicate adjective for remnants of it) with or without a corresponding verb ending in -aten; see Etymology 2. en -ee and, distantly, of en -ed past participle.
Suffix
forms adjectives with meaning "having the specified thing"
en -ed<id:having> -ous
en lobate — “having lobes, lobed”
forms adjectives with meaning "characterized by the specified thing"
en Italianate — “characterized by Italian features”
forms adjectives with meaning "resembling the specified thing"
en palmate — “resembling a palm leaf”
ending of Latin- (ending in la -ātus) and French-borrowed (ending in fr -é) participial adjectives
en deliberate — “deliberated”
en degenerate — “degenerated”
Suffix
inflectional suffixes
en obsolete up until Early Modern English, formed regular past participles of verbs ending in -ate. Rare afterwards except in archaizing poetry, religious writing and Scotland. The alternative ending -ated was used from as early as Middle English

Etymology 2
en verb :lbor la:-ātus<id:adjective>
See Etymology 1. In Middle English, verbs were derived from Latin-borrowed participial adjectives (also used as their past participles) and formed their infinitives in -aten (see enm -en infinitival; enm desolaten for modern en desolate). In the 15th century, the loss of most verbal morphology made verbs formally identical to adjectives. This led to the heteronymy of Middle English verbs in -aten with their corresponding past participles, numerous adjectives in en -ate being used as verbs, and, in the late 16th century, the systematic borrowing of such Latin participles as English verbs. The sheer number of newly borrowed verbs from Latin ending in -ate later gave rise to -ates productivity as a verbal suffix.suffix3 1 I 532 2
further etymology The same process also led to the systematic borrowing of Latin perfect passive voice passive participle of other kinds as English verbs. See en dissect, en delete, en erase, en applause (when older en applaud) and en exhaust: all borrowed from Latin participial stems of diverse conjugation groups. Compare also eu -tu for similar development.

Etymology 3
en substantive :der la:-ātus<id:adjective> From the substantivization of perfect passive voice passive participles of first conjugation Latin verbs; see Etymology 1. Partly taken from French animate substantives that began to be Latinized during the 14th century: see French fr avoué and its re-Latinized version fr avocat, whence en advocate which underwent further re-Latinization. Partly from inanimate substantives taken from gender neuter forms of Latin participles: see en mandate. fr -é (e.g., fr avoué, fr employé) later gave English en -ee.
