Definition
Past tense of 'equal'; made something the same as another thing, or reached the same level as something else.
Etymology
British spelling of 'equaled,' from Latin 'aequalis' (equal). British English doubles the final 'l' before adding '-ed,' following standard orthographic conventions.
Kelly Says
When a runner 'equalled the world record,' they didn't break it—they matched it exactly, which is still extraordinary because one microsecond less would have beaten it.
