Etymology of SEARCHED
The word "searched" is derived from the Middle English term "searchen", which can be traced back to the Old French word "cerchier", meaning "to search, to look for". This Old French word, in turn, came from the Late Latin word "circare", meaning "to go around, to wander". The root of "circare" is the Latin word "circus", which referred to a circular path or ring. Over time, the term "search" evolved from "cerchier" through various phonetic changes and spelling adaptations to its present form.
