Word origin
The word 'furrowed' originated from the Old English word 'furh', which meant furrow or trench. Over time, it evolved to describe both the act of creating furrows in the land and the appearance of deep lines on the forehead. The adjective form 'furrowed' first appeared in Middle English, combining the Old English root with the suffix '-ed' to indicate a past participle. Today, 'furrowed' is commonly used to depict both physical features and agricultural practices.
