'elevated' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'elevatus,' where 'e-' meant 'out' and 'levare' meant 'to raise.'

'elevatus' transformed into the Old French word 'elevé,' and eventually became the modern English word 'elevated' through Middle English.

Initially, it meant 'to raise or lift up,' but over time it evolved into its current meanings of 'higher position or status' and 'high spirits.'
