Definition of woollen

woollenadjective

len

/ˈwʊlən//ˈwʊlən/

The word "woollen" has its roots in Old English and Middle English. The original Old English word was "wull," which referred to the wool of sheep. This word was derived from the Proto-Germanic word "*wulloz" and ultimately from the Proto-Indo-European root "*wel-" which meant "to twist" or "to turn". Over time, the spelling of the word evolved to "woollen" in Middle English (circa 1100-1500). The suffix "-en" was added to form a past participle, similar to other English words such as "dyed" or "woven". In modern English, "woollen" is used as an adjective to describe fabric made from wool, as well as clothing and textiles made from this material. The word "woollen" has been used in English for over a thousand years, and its meaning has remained relatively consistent, although its spelling has undergone changes over time.
