Etymology
The word 'arrowed' derives from the noun 'arrow', which has its origins in the Old English term 'arwe', meaning a projectile that is shot from a bow. 'Arrow' has been used in various contexts throughout history, symbolizing direction, purpose, and intention. The verb form 'to arrow' emerged to convey the action of directing something as precisely as an arrow flies to its target. Over time, this term gained broader metaphorical meanings, often employed in literature and spoken language to describe focused actions or decisions.
