Etymology

The word 'sung' is the past tense and past participle of the verb 'sing'. The origin of the word can be traced back to Old English 'sang' and Proto-Germanic 'sangwaz'. Singing has been an integral part of human culture and communication for centuries, with sung melodies carrying emotions and stories across generations. Sunglasses, on the other hand, have a more recent history, becoming popular in the 20th century as both a fashion statement and a practical accessory for protecting the eyes from the sun.
