Etymology of KNEADED
The word "kneaded" is derived from the Middle English word "kneden" and Old English word "cnedan", both of which mean "to knead" or "to press, squeeze". These Old English and Middle English terms are further related to the Old High German word "knetan" and the Proto-Germanic word "knedan", which share the same meaning. Ultimately, the word can be traced back to the Proto-Indo-European root *gnet-, meaning "to press" or "to squeeze". This root also gave rise to words like "knot" and "knit", which convey the idea of intertwining or compressing.
