Etymology
The word 'sharp' comes from the Old English 'scearp', which means having a fine edge or point. Historically, it has been used to describe objects that are able to cut or pierce. The evolution of the term led to its use in various expressions and idioms in the English language. The misinterpretation or misuse of the past tense as 'sharped' instead of 'sharpened' highlights a common linguistic phenomenon where modifications of words do not necessarily follow standard grammatical rules. While 'sharpened' became widely accepted in English, 'sharped' remains an incorrect variant.
