Etymology of BARKED
The word "barked" is the past tense and past participle form of the verb "bark". The etymology of "bark" can be traced back to the Old Norse word "bǫrkr", which meant "bark" or "rind". It is akin to the Old English word "beorc", which referred to "birch bark". The exact ultimate origin of the word remains uncertain. However, it is thought to be derived from a Proto-Germanic root word "*barkuz", which could be linked to the action of stripping or peeling off the outer covering of a tree trunk to obtain bark.
