Etymology
The word 'serried' originates from the late Middle English, derived from the French word 'serrรฉ', which means 'tight' or 'close'. This French term is a past participle form of 'serrer', meaning 'to tighten or bind'. Over time, 'serried' has evolved in the English language to specifically imply a dense arrangement, often used in literary contexts to describe lines of soldiers, rows of plants, or any objects positioned closely together. Its usage can evoke imagery of military formations, demonstrating the term's historical associations with discipline and order.
