Etymology of COLLIED
The word "collied" is derived from the Old English word "colian", which means "to make black with coal". It comes from the noun "col", referring to coal, ultimately derived from the Old English word "colu", which means "charcoal" or "burnt wood". Over time, the verb form "colian" developed, expressing the action of making something black with coal. Eventually, "collied" emerged as the past participle of "colian" and started to be used as an adjective to describe something that has been blackened with coal or covered in soot.
