BURGLED Meaning and
Definition
-
Burgled, commonly used as a past participle of the verb "burgle," refers to the act of breaking into a building, typically a residential property or business, with the intent to commit theft or other criminal activities. It is a term commonly associated with unlawful entry and theft, especially during the absence or when occupants are unaware of the intrusion.
The act of being burgled involves forced entry by the perpetrator, who may use tools, force, or manipulation to gain access to the premises. The main objective is generally to steal valuables, cash, electronics, or other items of worth, though vandalism, property damage, or violence might also be involved.
When a property has been burgled, it typically signifies that unauthorized individuals have unlawfully entered the premises and made off with stolen items or caused damage. Victims of burglary often experience feelings of violation, vulnerability, and insecurity, as their personal space has been invaded and possessions taken without consent.
Law enforcement agencies and security experts often emphasize the importance of preventative measures, such as installing robust locks, alarm systems, and surveillance cameras, to deter burglars. Additionally, maintaining good lighting, securing windows and doors, and forming good relationships with neighbors are often encouraged to minimize the risk of being burgled.

Etymology of BURGLED
The word "burgled" is derived from the noun "burglary", which originated from the Middle English word "burglarye" in the early 16th century. It was borrowed from Anglo-Norman French "burglerie" or "burgelerye", which derived from the Old French word "burgle" or "burde" (a fortress or castle). The underlying root can be traced back to the Old High German word "burg" (fortress or castle). Over time, the term "burglary" came to refer to the act of entering a building unlawfully with the intention of committing theft or other crimes. From "burglary", the verb form "burgled" emerged to describe the action of committing such a crime.
