Etymology of SHIFTED
The word "shifted" originated from the Old English word "sciftan" which means "to arrange, divide, or distribute". It can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic word "skiftaną" and the Proto-Indo-European root "skei-" which means "to cut, split, or divide". Over time, the word "sciftan" evolved into "shift" in Middle English and eventually the past tense "shifted" developed.
