Etymology

The word 'rotted' originates from the Old English term 'rotian', which meant to decay or decompose. The Proto-Germanic root is '*wrลtaz', denoting a similar action of decay. Over time, 'rotted' has evolved within the English language to specifically describe organic decay, particularly relating to food and plant matter. Its use reflects the natural processes of decomposition that occur in various biological contexts. The term is closely tied to agricultural practices, as understanding and identifying rotting is essential for maintaining food quality and safety.
