The word "sanded" comes from the verb "sand", which dates back to the late 15th century. It derives from the Old English word "sond", meaning "grit, gravel, or small stones".

"Sanded" as a past participle form of "sand" is used to describe the action of smoothing or abrading a surface with sand or sandpaper.
