Etymology of SHEPHERDED
The word "shepherded" originated from the noun "shepherd". The noun, in turn, comes from the Old English word "sceaphierde", which is a compound word consisting of "sceap" (meaning "sheep") and "hierde" (meaning "herder" or "guardian"). The Old English word "sceaphierde" eventually evolved into "shepherd" in Middle English. The verb form "shepherded" was then formed from the noun, taking on the meaning of guiding, leading, or tending to a group of sheep, and eventually came to be used metaphorically to refer to guiding or leading people.
