COASTED Meaning and
Definition
-
Coasted is a verb that primarily refers to the act of moving or traveling effortlessly or smoothly, particularly in relation to a vehicle, such as a car, bicycle, skateboard, or boat, across a surface. It typically suggests that there is little or no use of power, force, or effort to continue moving in a particular direction or to maintain a certain speed. When one coasts, they take advantage of the inertia or momentum gained from a previous forceful motion, allowing the object to continue at a steady pace.
The action of coasting can also be metaphorically extended to other activities or situations. In these contexts, coasting implies a relaxed or effortless progression without any notable strain or exertion. For example, in the context of work or academic performance, someone may be said to be coasting if they are performing tasks or meeting expectations easily and with minimal effort. Similarly, in emotional or personal matters, coasting may refer to a state of being relaxed or content without encountering any significant challenges or difficulties.
Overall, the term "coasted" encapsulates the notion of effortless movement or progress, whether it is related to physical motion or metaphorical occurrences.

Etymology of COASTED
The word "coasted" derives from the Middle English term "coasten", which came from the Old French word "coster" meaning "to touch or border upon". This Old French word can be traced back further to the Latin word "custa", meaning "rib" or "side". The transition in meaning from "touching the side" to "skimming or traveling alongside" eventually led to "coasted" referring to sailing along or near a coast.
