Etymology
The word 'guilt' dates back to Old English 'gylt', which meant 'a crime' or 'a fault'. It originated from the Proto-Germanic root '*wiltiz', referring to the feeling of being at fault for a wrongdoing. Over time, 'guilt' evolved to encompass the emotional experience of feeling responsible for a perceived offense. The suffix '-ed' is commonly used in English to form the past tense of verbs and participles. Thus, 'guilted' essentially means that someone has been made to feel guilty, emphasizing the emotional connotation of coercion and influence, which has developed throughout the centuries within social dynamics.
