Etymology of BULLIED
The word "bullied" comes from the Middle Dutch word "bullen", which means "to bluster or bully". It is derived from the Middle High German word "bulen", meaning "to rage", which was related to the Old Norse word "bull", meaning "rowing, bluster". The English word "bullied" was formed by adding the suffix "-ed" to "bully", which originally referred to someone who was blustering or threatening. Over time, "bully" came to refer to someone who engages in harassing or intimidating behavior, hence the term "bullied" to describe those who are on the receiving end of such behavior.
