sanded
|sand/ed|
/ˈsændɪd/
(sand)
granular material
Etymology
'sanded' originates from Old English, specifically the word 'sand', where Proto-Germanic '*sandaz' meant 'sand'.
'sanded' changed from Old English 'sand' (from Proto-Germanic '*sandaz') and developed as the regular past/past-participle form 'sanded' of the verb 'to sand' in Middle English, eventually becoming the modern English 'sanded'.
Initially related to the noun meaning 'sand' (the granular material); over time the verb sense 'to apply sand' and the derived sense 'to smooth with an abrasive' developed, producing the past form 'sanded'.
