Origin of the word crammed

The word "crammed" is derived from the Old English word "cramman," which means "to thrust or push something into a confined space." This meaning is closely related to the modern usage of "crammed," which implies being tightly packed or filled to overflowing. The word "cramman" itself is likely related to the Proto-Germanic word "krammō," meaning "to press or squeeze." Over time, the meaning of "crammed" evolved to encompass not only physical spaces but also abstract concepts like minds and schedules, reflecting the idea of being overloaded or filled to capacity.
