The word "dotted" has its roots in Old English. The term "dotted" originates from the Old English words "dēotian" or "dōtian," which means "to prick or puncture." In the 14th century, the verb "dote" emerged, meaning "to prick or puncture with dots or marks." During the 15th century, the adjective "dotted" emerged, initially describing something that was marked or punctured with small dots or marks. Over time, the term "dotted" expanded to include words like "dotted line" (a line marked with small dots) and "dotted i" (a dot above an "i" in Latin script). Today, the word "dotted" is commonly used in various contexts, including art, design, and mathematics.
