Resided (in)

Answer:

DWELT

Hint:

Think of a past tense verb meaning to live somewhere for a period, often used in literary or historical contexts.

Explanation:

"Resided (in)" is a straightforward clue where the answer is a past-tense verb meaning to live somewhere. "Dwelt" fits perfectly because it’s an older or literary word for having lived in a place, like "she dwelt in the countryside." The parentheses around "(in)" hint that the answer might not need a preposition—just the verb itself. No tricks here, just a direct synonym.
