SHOVELED Meaning and Definition

1. Shoveled is the past tense and past participle form of the verb "shovel." To shovel means to lift, scoop, or transfer materials, usually loose substances like soil, snow, or sand, using a shovel. It involves picking up or digging through the material and moving it to another location by forcefully thrusting or shifting the shovel.

   When something is shoveled, it refers to the action of using a shovel to move or transfer the material in question. The process typically involves a repeated motion of digging into the substance, gathering a portion of it, and then forcibly pushing it away.

Shoveled can also be used figuratively to describe the act of rapidly consuming or discarding large quantities of something, such as food or information.

Etymology of SHOVELED

The word "shoveled" comes from the verb "shovel", which originated from the Old English word "scofl", meaning "shovel".
