Etymology

The word 'dented' originates from the verb 'dent', which itself comes from the Middle English term 'denten' meaning to make a dent or depression in a surface. The roots can be traced further back to the Old French word 'dente' meaning tooth, reflecting the idea of making an indentation. The concept of denting something is often associated with the idea of a sharp object or force causing a depression, much like the impression a tooth might leave on a softer material. Over time, the usage of 'dented' has expanded into various contexts beyond physical objects, including metaphoric uses to describe emotional states or the effects of external pressures.
