[Grammar] Respeted/Respectful

[julia333]

I tried a lot but i didn't find the word 'Respected' in any dictionary.

Is this word exist ? Though it is past participle adjective.

Should we strictly use respectful ?

Or 'respected' can be used

I tried a lot but i didn't find the word 'Respected' in any dictionary. Some of them just have "respect", so you have to learn the meaning of "respected" from the meaning of "respect", both noun and verb.
Respected Definition | Definition of Respected at Dictionary.com This link says a little about "respected" near the middle of the page.
Does this word exist? yes Though it is past participle adjective.

Should we strictly use respectful ? No, "respectful" has a different meaning.

Or can 'respected' be used? yes

"respected" means 'well thought of', held in high regard'.
"respectful" means showing respect to others and to things and ideas.

'Respected' - others respect you.
'Respectful' - you show respect to others.

So, one could be either respected or respectful, or both.
