EMBANKED Meaning and Definition

  1. The word "embanked" is a verb and is the past participle form of the verb "embank." Embanking refers to the act of constructing or building an embankment. An embankment is a man-made structure, typically made of soil or other materials, that is raised to form a barrier or wall to control and contain the flow of water, such as rivers, streams, or canals.

    When an area is embanked, it means that an embankment has been constructed, either artificially or naturally, to provide protection against flooding or to create a barrier to regulate the flow of water. This process usually involves shaping the land or elevating the ground surface to form a raised ridge or mound that acts as a barrier, preventing water from overflowing or flooding into adjacent areas.

    Embanked areas can be found in various settings, such as along riverbanks, coastal regions, or low-lying areas prone to flooding. They serve as crucial infrastructure to safeguard human settlements, agricultural lands, transportation networks, and other valuable assets from water-related hazards.

    The process of embanking requires careful planning, engineering expertise, and consideration of environmental factors to ensure the stability and effectiveness of the embankment structure. It often involves the use of heavy machinery, earth-moving equipment, and soil compaction techniques to create a stable and durable embanked area.

Common Misspellings for EMBANKED

Etymology of EMBANKED

The word "embanked" comes from the English verb "embank", which is formed by combining the prefix "en-" (meaning "to cause to") with the word "bank". The origin of the word "bank" can be traced back to the Old Norse word "bakk(i)" meaning "slope" or "hillside". It later evolved in Middle English to refer to the raised earthen structure along a river or a canal, which serves as a barrier or support. Therefore, "embanked" refers to the act of creating or constructing an embankment, typically to regulate water flow or prevent flooding in low-lying areas.
