Definition of rooted

rootedadjective

đã bén rễ

/ˈruːtɪd//ˈruːtɪd/

The word "rooted" has its origin in the Old English word "rōt," which means "root" or "foundation." This word was derived from the Proto-Germanic word "*rōtiz," which is also related to the Proto-Indo-European root "*reud-," meaning "to grow" or "to flourish." In Middle English (circa 1100-1500), the word "rooted" emerged as a past participle of the verb "to root," which meant "to fix or attach" something to a place or foundation. Over time, the meaning of "rooted" expanded to include the sense of being established, fixed, or deeply rooted in a particular place or idea. Today, the word "rooted" is often used figuratively to describe a person who is strongly connected to their community, culture, or values, or to describe something that is firmly established or deeply rooted in a particular concept or principle.
