Etymology
The word 'toweled' is derived from the noun 'towel', which comes from Middle English 'towel' meaning a cloth used for drying. Its roots can be traced back to Old French 'torc', which means a cloth or towel, originating from the Latin 'torca' meaning 'twisted' or 'band'. As towel-making techniques evolved, so did the usage of the term in English-speaking cultures. The verb form 'toweled' developed in the 19th century as people began to use towels more frequently for quick drying after baths and in gyms. Today, it is a common verb used in various contexts related to personal care.
