Definition of powdered

powderedadjective

bột

/ˈpaʊdəd//ˈpaʊdərd/

The word "powdered" traces its roots back to the Old French word "poudre," meaning "dust." This word itself is derived from the Latin "pulvis," also meaning "dust." Over time, "poudre" evolved into the English word "powder," initially referring to fine, dry substances like dust. The "-ed" suffix was added to create the verb "powdered," indicating the process of reducing something to a fine powder. Therefore, "powdered" signifies the act of turning something into a fine, dust-like state, reflecting its connection to the ancient words for "dust" and "powder."
