Word origin

The word 'lighted' is a past participle form of the verb 'light,' which has its origins in Old English 'lēoht,' meaning 'light' or 'brightness.' The evolution of this term can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic *leuht, which also relates to the concept of brightness. Over time, 'light' began to be used as a verb, meaning to make something bright or to ignite. The past participle 'lighted' has been in use since at least the 14th century, reflecting how people have utilized and described sources of illumination throughout history. Initially, it was predominantly associated with fire or flame, but as technology evolved, its application expanded to include electric lights and other forms of illumination.
