Etymology
The word 'sun' derives from the Old English 'sunne', which has Germanic origins, tracing back to Proto-Germanic '*sunnōn' and ultimately to Proto-Indo-European '*sóh₂wnos.' The evolution of the word reflects the central role of the sun in various cultures and its importance in daily life, agriculture, and timekeeping. The verb 'to sun' is a more modern formation, emerging in the English language to describe the act of exposure to sunlight. Over time, the concept of 'sunning' has also been embraced in various recreational contexts, especially in relation to outdoor activities and health benefits. Thus, 'sunned' encapsulates both the physical action and the cultural appreciation of sunlight.
