Etymology of SQUATTED

The word "squatted" is the past tense and past participle form of the verb "squat". The etymology of "squat" can be traced back to the Old French word "esquatir" (modern French: esquattre), which means "to crouch or squat". This Old French term is derived from the Latin verb "coactus" which means "to be pressed together" or "compressed". The word "coactus" in turn is the past participle of the Latin verb "cogere", meaning "to drive or bring together". Over time, the term "squat" gained its specific meaning of assuming a crouching or squatting position, and "squatted" emerged as the past tense form to describe the action of squatting in the past.
