Etymology
The word 'busy' comes from the Old English 'bisig', which meant 'careful, anxious, or occupied.' The usage of 'busy' to denote being active or engaged in a task dates back to the 14th century. Over the years, the verb 'to busy' evolved as a way to express the act of making oneself or others occupied. The suffix '-ed' indicates the past tense, showing that the action of becoming occupied has already been completed. Throughout its history, 'busy' has maintained its core meaning of being engaged in work or tasks, often with a connotation of being industrious or diligently occupied.
