Etymology

The word 'flown' is derived from the Old English word 'flฤ“ogan', which means to fly. This root can be traced back to Proto-Germanic '*flaugan', which also carries the meaning of flying or floating. Throughout history, the concept of flight has evolved significantly, especially with advancements in technology such as the invention of the airplane in the early 20th century. The term has also found metaphorical uses in literature and speech, depicting not just physical flight but also emotional or conceptual elevation. The transitional forms of the verb in English, including 'fly', 'flew', and 'flown', show the evolution of the verb from Old English to its modern usage, reflecting changes in phonetics and grammatical structure through centuries. 'Flown' continues to be a significant part of the English lexicon, widely used in both prose and conversation.
