Etymology

The word 'wend' has its origins in the Old English word 'wendan', which means 'to turn or go'. The term is related to other Germanic words, such as the Old High German 'wendan' and the Dutch 'wenden', both carrying similar meanings of changing direction or proceeding. In Middle English, 'wend' was commonly used in both its transitive and intransitive forms but gradually became less common in contemporary usage. Today, 'wended' is primarily found in literary texts, evoking a sense of nostalgia or poetic imagery. Its usage can often conjure themes of journeys not just in the physical sense but also metaphorically, as in the course of one's life or experiences.
