Definition of engrained
engrainedadjective
khắc sâu
/ɪnˈɡreɪnd//ɪnˈɡreɪnd/"Engrained" comes from the Old French word "engrener," meaning "to grain." This referred to the process of planting seeds in the ground. Over time, "engrener" evolved into "engreiner," and its meaning shifted. It started to represent the idea of something being deeply embedded, like a seed taking root and growing strong. By the 15th century, "engreiner" entered English as "engrain" and later "engrained," with its current meaning of deeply rooted or firmly established.
