BREASTSTROKED Meaning and
Definition
-
Breaststroked is the past tense and past participle form of the verb breaststroke. Breaststroke is a swimming stroke characterized by the undulating motion of both arms moving symmetrically in a circular pattern, while the legs perform a whip-like kick. The swimmer starts in a prone position and pushes off into the water with both hands simultaneously. The arms then extend forward in front of the swimmer until they are completely straight, and they are then swept outward in a semi-circular pattern and brought back to the body, propelling the swimmer forward. Meanwhile, the legs perform a simultaneous whip-like motion where the knees are bent and the feet are flexed, followed by a sweeping motion where the legs are straightened and brought back together.
Breaststroked, therefore, refers to the action of performing breaststroke. It is used to describe the past action of having executed the breaststroke technique while swimming. For example, if someone was asked about their swimming technique during a race, they might respond by saying, "I breaststroked for the first half and then switched to freestyle." In this context, breaststroked is used to indicate that the action of swimming breaststroke had already occurred in the past.

Etymology of BREASTSTROKED
The word "breaststroked" is formed by combining the verb "breaststroke" with the past tense inflection "-ed". The etymology of the word "breaststroke" comes from the Middle English word "brest", which refers to the human chest or breast, and the word "stroke", which in this context means a specific swimming technique. The breaststroke is characterized by the swimmer's arms moving symmetrically in a horizontal motion while the legs kick in a frog-like pattern. The term "breaststroke" can be traced back to Old English roots and has been used to describe this swimming technique since at least the 16th century.
