It has evolved over centuries, with regional dialects in the British Isles and North America incorporating variations of the word. The expression was historically associated with anger and displeasure, making it a vivid way to describe emotional states through facial expressions. As language evolved, so did the usage of 'scowl', and dialectal variations like 'scowed' became less common yet remained recognized in specific communities for their unique phonetic characteristics.
