Explanation:

The mentioned word was created from the two Latin words mentioned above which were firstly used in the French language as the word procederer. The word procederer comes from Latin language and it is the mixture of the “CEDERE-GO” and the prefix “PRO-FORWARD”.

It was only in the Middle-Ages that the English society had started using this particular word in the form PROCEED which has several meanings in English Language today:

To proceed = to continue doing something

To proceed = to go forward with your plans or actions

You may proceed = the most common way in terms of politeness to say to someone that he or she can continue with his/her work, intentions or other actions

In your question, the mentioned word is in the simple past tense (+ed)

Examples of Proceed + ed:

  1. They proceeded with their plans.
