Etymology
The word 'bighted' emerges from the term 'blight,' which has its roots in Middle English 'blighten,' meaning to destroy or to wither. This, in turn, is derived from Old English 'blīcan,' meaning to shine or to blink, hinting at a once-healthy state before deterioration sets in. The usage of 'blight' has evolved, especially in agricultural contexts, where it denotes the affliction of plants by disease. Over time, the extended implications of 'bighted' have come to represent broader concepts of ruin, both in literal and metaphorical senses, reflecting how conditions can undermine health, prospects, and environments.
