Etymology of INDURATED

The word "indurated" originates from the Latin word "induratus", which is the past participle of the verb "indurare". "Indurare" is derived from the combination of the prefix "in-" (meaning "in" or "into") and the root word "durare" (meaning "to harden" or "to endure"). Thus, "indurated" can be traced back to Latin, with its literal meaning suggesting the process of hardening or becoming more solid.
