say it: uh-VOWD
avowed is an adjective meaning "openly declared as such". It carries one recorded sense.
Forms marked are formed by the regular rule rather than recorded in the source data. English keeps a few hundred irregulars and the rest follow the pattern, so the rule is right far more often than not — but it is a rule, and the mark says so.
