Origin of 'warmed'

The word 'warmed' derives from the Old English term 'wearmian', which means 'to make warm' or 'to warm oneself'. It is a combination of the Proto-West Germanic *warmลnan and also has connections to the Proto-Indo-European root *gสทฤ“r- meaning 'to heat'. Over the centuries, the term evolved through various forms in Middle English, such as 'warme' before settling on 'warm' in the modern lexicon. The use of 'warmed' as the past tense became standardized as English grammar evolved, reflecting the continuous nature of heat in both physical and metaphorical contexts. The historical connotations of warmth often relate to comfort and safety, which are vital human needs.
