Word origin
The word 'yellowed' originates from the adjective 'yellow', which itself comes from the Old English 'geolu', meaning yellow and related to the Proto-West Germanic '*gelwaz'. The term has evolved through Middle English as 'geolw', taking on the same meaning. The suffix '-ed' is a common past participle ending, used in English to indicate a completed action or state, therefore 'yellowed' implies something that has become yellow over time. The use of 'yellow' as a descriptive term has been prevalent in literature and linguistics for centuries, often associated with warmth, cheerfulness, and, at times, decay or aging.
