vusita : (pp. of vasati) dwelt; fulfilled; come to perfection.

Source: Sutta: The Pali Text Society's Pali-English Dictionary

Vusita, (Kern, Toev. s. v. vasati takes it as vi+uṣita (of vas2), against which speaks meaning of vivasati “to live from home. ” Geiger, P. Gr. § 661 & 195 explained it as uṣita with prothetic v, as by-form of vuttha. Best fitting in meaning is assumption of vusita being a variant of vosita, with change of o to u in analogy to vuttha; thus=vi+osita “fulfilled, come to an end or to perfection”; cp. pariyosita. Geiger’s explanation is supported by phrase brahmaQariyaṃ vasati) fulfilled, accomplished; (or: ) lived, spent (=vuttha); only in phrase vusitaṃ brahmacariyaṃ (translation Dial. I. 93; “the higher life has been fulfilled”) D. I, 84 (cp. Dh. I, 225= vutthaṃ parivutthaṃ); It. 115 (ed. vūsita°); Sn. 463, 493; Pug. 61.—Also at D. I, 90 neg. a°, with ref. to avusitavā, where Rh. D. (Dial. I. 112) translates “ill-bred” and “rude, ” hardly just. See also arahant II. A. (Page 646)
