NANNIED Meaning and
Definition
-
Nannied is the past tense of the verb "nanny," referring to the action or process of caring for or looking after children as a professional childminder, commonly known as a nanny. The term "nanny" typically describes an individual who is employed to supervise and provide childcare for children in their own home or another private residence.
Nannied can also be used more broadly in a figurative sense to describe a situation where someone or something is being excessively controlled or monitored, as if under the close supervision of a nanny. This metaphorical usage implies that the person or subject being "nannied" is being overly sheltered or restricted in their activities, decisions, or personal freedoms.
In this context, being "nannied" can depict a situation where an individual or entity is being treated as if they lack independence or autonomy, and require constant guidance or surveillance. It can also imply a condescending attitude towards someone considered to need excessive supervision or protection, often implying that they are incapable of taking care of themselves adequately.
Overall, when "nannied" is used in either the literal or metaphorical sense, it denotes a state of being under close watch, guidance, or control, either by a professional nanny or through a perceived excessive level of supervision and control.
Etymology of NANNIED
The word "nannied" is derived from the noun "nanny", which refers to a person, typically a woman, who is employed to care for and look after children. The term "nanny" originated in the 18th century and was derived from the earlier term "nanny-goat", which referred to a female goat. The connection between the term and child care came about due to the similarities between the care and nurturing provided by a nanny-goat to its young and the care provided by a human nanny to children. The word "nannied" is the past tense and past participle form of the verb "to nanny", which means to work as a nanny or provide child care services.
