/spent//spent/

The word "spent" has its roots in the Old English word "spendan," meaning "to expend, to consume, to use up." It's related to the German word "spenden," meaning "to give," and the Latin word "pendere," meaning "to hang, to weigh." Over time, "spendan" evolved into "spend" in Middle English and ultimately "spent" as the past participle. Its meaning has remained consistent, indicating something that has been used up or consumed.
