How Do You Spell SKIDDED?

Pronunciation: [skˈɪdɪd] (IPA)

The word "skidded" is spelled with double "d" at the end, even though the sound is not emphasized in pronunciation. Using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), the word can be transcribed as /ˈskɪdɪd/. The "k" sound is followed by a short "i" sound, a voiced "d" sound, and finally another unemphasized "d" sound at the end. The double "d" is necessary to distinguish the past tense of "skid" from the present tense, which is spelled with just one "d".

SKIDDED Meaning and Definition

1. Skidded is a verb that refers to the act of sliding or slipping uncontrollably on a smooth surface, often with the loss of traction. It is typically used in the context of vehicles, specifically when they lose control and slide sideways or sideways during sudden braking or sharp turns. When a vehicle skids, its tires lose grip on the road, causing it to slide in a sideways or skidding motion, often leading to a loss of control and potential accidents.

   Skidding can occur on various surfaces such as icy roads, wet pavements, or oil-slicked surfaces where the friction between the tires and the ground is greatly reduced. This loss of control can be dangerous and alarming for the driver and passengers, as it becomes challenging to steer, brake, or accelerate effectively.

   Skidding is also a term used in various sports or recreational activities, such as skiing, ice skating, or skateboarding, when a person loses balance or control and slides unintentionally. In these instances, skidding may result in falls, injuries, or collisions with objects or other individuals.

   Overall, skidded describes the action of a vehicle or person sliding uncontrollably on a smooth surface, often due to a loss of traction, thereby highlighting the potential dangers and risks associated with such situations.

Etymology of SKIDDED

The word skidded is derived from the noun skid. The term skid can be traced back to the Old Norse word skið, meaning stick of wood or log. In Old English, it developed into scid, referring to a wooden support used for various purposes. Over time, skid started to be used specifically to describe a timber or plank placed under a wheel or a sled to prevent it from sliding. The verb form to skid emerged in the late 17th century, originally describing the sliding motion caused by a skid. Eventually, skid expanded its meaning to also indicate sliding or slipping out of control, leading to the usage of skidded as the past tense and past participle form of the verb skid.
