Etymology
Derived from the verb `benötigen`, which combines the prefix `be-` with the noun `Not` (need, necessity). The `-t` ending indicates the past participle, functioning as an inflected adjective.
Memory Tips
Connect `Not` to the English word 'need'. The prefix `be-` often creates transitive verbs. `benötigten` is the adjective form that changes its ending based on the noun it describes.
