Origin of the word pushed

The word "pushed" originates from the Old English verb "pescian," which meant "to press" or "to urge." This root word is also the origin of the modern English word "press" as in a printing press or a pressing motion. The past tense form of "pescian" was "pæscede," and then over time, this form evolved into the Middle English word "puseden" or "pusseten," which eventually led to the modern English verb "pushed." The usage and spelling of "pushed" have changed over time, but its origins can still be traced back to the Old English "pescian."
