Origin of the word settled

The word "settled" has a long history, tracing back to the Old English word "setlan," meaning "to sit down, to rest." This root is shared with the words "seat" and "settle," all of which point to the act of finding a place to rest or establish oneself. Over time, "settled" evolved to encompass a broader sense of being established, stable, and free from disturbance. It can refer to a person's position in life, a community's development, or a dispute's resolution. The evolution from "sitting down" to "being established" reflects the core meaning of finding a place of permanence and peace.
