Etymology

The word 'sagged' is derived from the verb 'sag', which has its roots in Middle English 'saggen', meaning to sink or to droop. The term evolved from Old English 'sagnian', which meant to become less taut or to lean down. This etymology reflects the physical change associated with the word, signifying a movement toward a lower position or a decline in firmness. Over time, 'sag' has been commonly used to describe the way various objects, bodies, or structures can bend or droop due to affliction, load, or fatigue. The transformation from its earlier forms to 'sagged' also introduced nuances in its usage, allowing it to describe both physical states and metaphorical declines, such as in mood or energy.
