Definition

Deafened is the past participle form of the verb "deafen," which refers to the act of making someone or something unable to hear or severely impairing their ability to hear. When someone is deafened, their sense of hearing is either completely or significantly obstructed, rendering them unable to perceive sound or causing a significant reduction in their auditory perceptions.

Figuratively, "deafened" can describe a state where someone is overwhelmed by noise, information, or opinions, to the point where it becomes difficult for them to process or acknowledge other perspectives or ideas. For instance, a person may be metaphorically deafened by the incessant chatter or conflicting viewpoints in a crowded room, hindering their ability to concentrate or engage in productive discussions.
Overall, "deafened" describes a state of being devoid or significantly impaired of auditory senses. Whether in a literal or metaphorical sense, it conveys an obstruction or overwhelming nature that hampers an individual's ability to hear or understand the world around them.

Etymology of DEAFENED
The word "deafened" is derived from the verb "deafen".
The term "deaf" can be traced back to the Old English word "deaf", which has its roots in the Proto-Germanic "daubaz". This word ultimately came from the Proto-Indo-European root "dheubh-", meaning "to deafen, dull, or confuse".
