Definition of the word <b>spoken</b>

Origin of the word spoken

The word "spoken" originates from the Old English word "sprecan," meaning "to speak." It evolved through Middle English "spoken" and ultimately derives from the Proto-Germanic word "sprekan," meaning the same. This root is shared with words like "speak" and "speech" in English, and related words in other Germanic languages. Essentially, "spoken" has been around for centuries, evolving from a common ancestor and reflecting the way we express ourselves through language.
