Etymology

The word 'channelled' originates from the Middle English word 'chanel' which means a watercourse or a bed of a river. The evolving definition has seen 'channel' being used in both a physical and metaphorical sense. By the late 19th century, it began to take on meanings related to directing or guiding something into a channel. In spiritual practices, especially those arising in the 20th century, 'channelled' became associated with those who claim to convey messages from other dimensions or entities. This modern usage illustrates the expansion of the term into the realms of spirituality and personal development, showcasing its adaptability within the English language.
