From WordNet (r) 3.0 (2006) [wn]:
needed
adj
  1. necessary for relief or supply; "provided them with all things needful"
    Synonym(s): needed, needful, required, requisite
From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Need \Need\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. {Needed}; p. pr. & vb. n.
      {Needing}.] [See {Need}, n. Cf. AS. n[?]dan to force, Goth.
      nau[?]jan.]
      To be in want of; to have cause or occasion for; to lack; to
      require, as supply or relief.
  
               Other creatures all day long Rove idle, unemployed, and
               less need rest.                                       --Milton.
  
      Note: With another verb, need is used like an auxiliary,
               generally in a negative sentence expressing requirement
               or obligation, and in this use it undergoes no change
               of termination in the third person singular of the
               present tense. [bd]And the lender need not fear he
               shall be injured.[b8] --Anacharsis (Trans. ).
