Etymology
The word 'scab' dates back to Old English 'sceabb', which referred to a crust or scab over a sore. Its roots can be traced further back to Proto-Germanic '*skabbiz', denoting a scabby or sore condition. Over time, the term evolved to describe not only the physical crust that forms on healing skin but also to extend metaphorically to describe various conditions or states related to imperfection or healing. The adjective form 'scabbed' therefore emerges to describe things that are affected by or exhibit characteristics of scabs. This word appears in various dialects and has maintained its medical connotation throughout its history, solidifying its usage in both clinical and casual vernacular.
