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

Origin of the word wounded

The word "wounded" comes from the Old English word "wundod," meaning "injured" or "harmed." This word is related to the Old Norse word "vondr" which means "evil" or "harmful." The modern English word "wound" is derived from the same root, and has been used in English since at least the 10th century. The concept of being "wounded" has existed throughout human history, reflecting the universal experience of injury and pain. The word itself reflects this long history, tracing back to the shared linguistic roots of many Germanic languages.
