SLOPED Meaning and
Definition
-
Sloped is an adjective used to describe something that is inclined or has an angle or gradient. It refers to a surface, object, or piece of land that is not level or flat, but instead slopes or slants.
In the context of terrain, a sloped area is one that exhibits a gradual or steep incline, usually from one point to another. It is characterized by an uneven or tilted surface, which may be caused by natural processes like erosion, tectonic activity, or the movement of water. For example, a hillside can be described as sloped if it gradually rises or falls.
When it comes to man-made objects or structures, sloped is often used to denote angled or slanted surfaces. For instance, a roof is considered sloped when it has an incline for the purposes of runoff and drainage. Similarly, a sloped ramp or walkway has an inclined plane designed to facilitate movement for individuals with disabilities or for wheeled devices.
In general, sloped implies a deviation from the horizontal plane, indicating that an object, surface, or landform is not level or flat but rather follows an ascending or descending trajectory. The degree of steepness or gentleness in a slope can vary greatly, ranging from a barely noticeable incline to a sharp and precipitous descent.
Common Misspellings for SLOPED
Etymology of SLOPED
The word "sloped" comes from the verb "slope", which originated from the Old English word "slūpan" meaning "to slip away" or "to glide". Over time, it evolved to include the sense of a slanting or inclined surface, which gave rise to the use of "slope" as a noun. Therefore, "sloped" simply derives from this verb form and refers to something that has a slanted or inclined surface.
