Etymology of CURBED

The word "curbed" is derived from the Old French word "courber", which means "to bend" or "to curve". "Courber" can be traced back to the Latin word "curvare", which has the same meaning. Over time, "courber" evolved into "curb" in English, referring to the act of restraining or checking something, particularly the excessive behavior of a person or an animal. Thus, "curbed" came to signify the action of being restrained, limited, or controlled.
