Etymology
The word 'broken' comes from the Middle English 'broke(n)', past participle of 'breken', which in turn comes from Old English 'brecan'. The sense of 'not functioning properly' dates back to the 16th century. Over time, 'broken' has evolved to encompass physical, emotional, and abstract meanings.
