Etymology
The word 'saddened' is derived from the verb 'sadden', which dates back to the early 17th century. The prefix 'sad' comes from the Old English 'sรฆd', meaning 'sated, full, weary'. Over time, 'sadden' evolved to include the meaning of making someone feel sad or unhappy. The adjective 'saddened' was later formed from the past participle of 'sadden', creating a word to describe the state of feeling sad or unhappy.
