Definition of elevated

elevatedadjective

cao

/ˈelɪveɪtɪd//ˈelɪveɪtɪd/

The word "elevated" originates from the Latin word "elevatus," the past participle of "elevare," meaning "to raise, lift up." This root can be traced back to the Latin word "levis," meaning "light, easy," which suggests the idea of something being raised or lifted as if it were light and easy. Over time, "elevatus" evolved into the Old French word "elevé" and eventually into the English word "elevated," retaining its core meaning of being raised or positioned higher than something else.
