Etymology

The term 'leaded' originates from the Middle English word 'ledde', which is the past tense of 'leden', meaning to lead. This verb itself comes from the Old English 'lวฃdan', which means to guide or bring forth. The adjective form, referring to something containing lead, emerged in the 19th century as industrial processes began to utilize lead more widely in manufacturing. The word has since evolved and can denote the presence of lead in various materials, reflecting the metal's significance in both historic and modern contexts.
