Etymology
The word 'motioned' derives from the root word 'motion', which comes from the Latin word 'motio', meaning 'a moving, a moving cause', related to 'movere', meaning 'to move'. The use of 'motion' dates back to the Middle Ages when body language started being formally recognized as a mode of communication. Over time, the act of making a gesture to convey meaning evolved into becoming a verb in English. The transition from 'motion' as a noun to 'motioned' as a verb reflects the evolution of language and how actions became a significant aspect of human interaction.
