The word "kneed" is of Middle English origin, derived from the Old English word "cnēowian". This term in turn comes from the Proto-Germanic word "*kneujanan", which means "to bend the knee". The original Proto-Indo-European root of "kneed" is believed to be "*genu-", which also gives rise to similar words in other Indo-European languages, such as the Latin "genu" and the Ancient Greek "gónu".
