Word origin

The word 'reddened' is derived from the verb 'redden', which has been in use since the late 16th century. The base word 'red' originates from the Old English 'read', which is related to the Dutch 'rood' and the German 'rot'. The suffix '-en' is used to form the past participle of verbs in English.
