Initiated is the past tense and past participle of the verb "to initiate" (to begin, to establish). The word initiated (verb or adjective) usually means began, started, or established(as the past participle, begun).

A secondary definition for the verb initiate is "to admit into an organization or group", most notably into a fraternity or sorority, where a candidate is initiated through the process of initiation. (For pledges to a fraternity, this can include various demeaning activities called 'hazing.') It this usage, an initiated member is one who has been formally inducted.

Another modern use of the word initiated involves its negative adjective, uninitiated, and is used to mean those who have not yet learned (or made privy to) certain news or knowledge.
