Etymology

The word 'sow' originates from the Old English 'sฤwan,' which means to plant seeds. This term has Germanic roots, with similar words appearing in other Germanic languages such as Old High German 'sฤwen' and Dutch 'zaaien.' It has been used in the English language since the early stages of its development, reflecting the agricultural practices of ancient societies. The past tense 'sowed' was formed by following the strong verb conjugation pattern typical of Old English, although 'sow' itself is an irregular verb today. The evolution of the word parallels the importance of agriculture in human civilization, as sowing seeds has been a fundamental practice for sustenance and survival since prehistoric times.
