PEGGED Meaning and Definition

  1. Pegged is a verb derived from the word "peg," which refers to a small pin, dowel, or rod used for either fastening or as a marker. In various contexts, to peg something means to secure, fasten, or fix it in place with the use of a peg. This can be achieved by inserting the peg into a hole or slot, thereby providing stability or preventing movement. For example, one might peg a tent to the ground by driving stakes into the soil to keep it firmly in place.

    In a metaphorical sense, pegged can be used to describe the act of associating or identifying someone or something with a particular category, characteristic, or value. For instance, if someone is pegged as a troublemaker, it indicates that they are identified or labeled as someone who habitually creates problems or brings about negative consequences. In a similar vein, if a currency is pegged to another currency or a fixed exchange rate, it means that its value is set and linked to the value of the other currency, resulting in stability and predictability in international trade and financial markets.

    Overall, whether in a literal or metaphorical sense, pegged signifies the action of fastening, identifying, or attaching something to a specific position, category, or value, thereby establishing stability, certainty, or recognition.
