Word origin
The word 'swollen' originated from the Middle English word 'swollen', past participle of 'swell'. The Old English word 'swellan' also contributed to its development. The concept of swelling as an abnormal enlargement or distension dates back to early medical observations. Over time, 'swollen' has retained its meaning in English, describing the condition of being enlarged or distended with fluid or air.
