Etymology of KNEELED

The word "kneeled" is derived from the Old English verb "cnēowlian", which is a combination of "cnēow" (knee) and the suffix "-lian" indicating action or state. The Old English verb has its roots in the Proto-Germanic word "*knēwjaną" and can be traced back to the Proto-Indo-European root "*ǵenə-", meaning "to bend". Over time, the verb "cnēowlian" evolved into "kneolien" and eventually "kneeled" in Middle English, which is the form still used in modern English.
