Etymology
The word 'uttered' is derived from the Old English word 'ลซterian', which means 'to put forth, express, or speak'. The prefix 'ut-' has Proto-Germanic origins, suggesting a outward or issuing action. Over time, the word evolved through Middle English, where 'utteren' maintained its meaning of vocal expression. The shift into modern usage retained its focus on the vocal aspect, commonly associated with the act of speaking, especially something meaningful. Throughout literary history, it's often been employed in dramatic contexts to convey a character's internal thoughts being shared with others, thus amplifying the impact of spoken discourse in both literature and everyday speech.
