SQUARED Meaning and Definition

1. Squared is an adjective used to describe a mathematical operation or the result of such an operation where a number or quantity is multiplied by itself, resulting in a product. It is often denoted with a superscript number 2 immediately to the right of the number or quantity being squared. For example, 3 squared is written as 3^2, and the result is 9.

   In mathematics, squaring is a fundamental arithmetic operation that calculates the area of a square when given the length of one of its sides. This process involves multiplying the given length by itself. Additionally, the term "squared" can be used more broadly in various mathematical contexts, such as systems of equations, where it represents the second power of the variable involved.

   Beyond mathematics, "squared" may be used metaphorically to indicate that something has been intensified or magnified. For instance, the phrase "squared shoulders" could imply that a person's confidence or strength has been significantly heightened. Moreover, the term can be employed in phrases like "squared away", which means to organize or consolidate something neatly and efficiently.

   Overall, the concept of "squared" encompasses its core mathematical application concerning multiplication by itself, while also extending into figurative language to express amplification or the state of being well-arranged.

Etymology of SQUARED

The word squared is derived from the Middle English word squaren, which comes from the Old French word esquarrer. This Old French term is a combination of the prefix es- (meaning ex or out) and the noun carre (meaning square). Ultimately, the noun carre is derived from the Latin word quadrus. Therefore, the etymology of squared traces back to the Latin term quadrus, meaning square.
