SLEDGED Meaning and
Definition
-
Sledged is a verb that primarily refers to the act of pulling or hauling something heavy or burdensome using a sled or sledge. It is derived from the noun "sledge," which is a large, strong vehicle with runners used for transporting goods or people over ice, snow, or rough terrain.
In a literal sense, to sledge involves attaching a heavy load to a sled or sledge and using physical force or an animal, such as a horse or a dog, to drag or transport the load from one place to another. This term commonly finds application in snowy or icy regions, where sledges are used for transportation purposes or in sports like sledding and ice hockey.
Figuratively, the term "sledged" can also denote the act of subjecting someone to criticism, mockery, or teasing. This usage is primarily found in informal contexts and is often associated with playful banter or light-hearted teasing among friends or colleagues. In such contexts, individuals may sledge each other by making entertaining or sarcastic remarks, aimed at provoking laughter or amusement. This colloquial usage of "sledged" is especially prevalent in some sports, where teammates or opponents may exchange humorous remarks during the game to lighten the mood or distract one another.
Overall, "sledged" encompasses both the literal act of pulling heavy loads with a sled and the figurative act of teasing or mocking someone through witty remarks.

Etymology of SLEDGED
The word "sledged" is derived from the noun "sledge". "Sledge" comes from Middle English "slegge" or "slege", which was borrowed from Old Norse "sleggja", meaning a heavy hammer or a sledgehammer. The term "sleggja" has further origins in Old High German "sleggo", which has the same meaning. Ultimately, the word can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic root "*slaganą", meaning "to strike". Over time, the verb form "to sledge" emerged, referring to the act of using a sledgehammer or delivering a heavy blow.
