DIGGED Meaning and Definition

1. "Digged" is the past tense of the verb "dig." The verb "dig" is commonly defined as the act of breaking up, turning over, or removing material, typically soil, with the use of a tool or one's hands. "Digged" refers specifically to the action of digging in the past, indicating that it has already taken place.

   When someone digs, they manipulate the ground or another substance by creating a hole, trench, or cavity. This activity is often done with the intention of exploring or excavating something, such as unearthing artifacts or searching for buried objects or minerals. Diggers may use tools such as shovels, spades, or trowels to facilitate the process.

   The verb "dig" is not limited to physical actions. It can also be used metaphorically to describe the act of researching or investigating information or ideas, usually in an effort to gain deeper understanding or uncover hidden truths.

   It is worth noting that while "digged" is an accepted past tense form of "dig," it is considered archaic and less commonly used in modern English. The more commonly used past tense form is "dug," but "digged" may still be encountered in older literature or poetic works.
