Etymology
The term 'pitted' derives from the verb 'pit', which originated from the Old English word 'pytt' meaning 'a hole' or 'a cavity'. Over time, the usage evolved to describe the presence of pits or indentations in various materials or surfaces. The application of the word expanded into different contexts, including geology, where it refers to rock surfaces, and culinary uses, specifically describing fruits that have had their seeds removed. The notion of something being pitted often carries connotations of wear and age as well, indicating that the object has undergone some form of erosion or damage. This evolution reflects the word's flexibility in describing physical attributes across multiple domains.
