Yes, "gotten" is a proper word, primarily used in American English as the past participle of "get." While it may sound unusual to some speakers, particularly in British English where "got" is preferred, it is widely accepted in various contexts in American writing and speech. Its usage can convey different meanings, such as obtaining or becoming.
