TELEGRAPHED Meaning and Definition

1. Telegraphed is the past tense and past participle form of the verb "telegraph." The term "telegraph" refers to a method of communication that was widely used in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It involved the transmission of messages over long distances using a system of electrical signals. In this context, "telegraphed" can be defined as the act of sending or transmitting a message via telegraph.

   To telegraph a message, an operator would use a telegraph key, which was a device that allowed the transmission of electrical signals. The operator would press the key, creating a series of short and long signals called Morse code, which corresponded to letters and numbers. These signals would then be transmitted along a telegraph wire to the receiving station, where they would be decoded and translated back into written form.

   The verb "telegraphed" can also be used metaphorically to describe communication that is conveyed quickly and clearly, similar to the speed at which telegrams were transmitted. For instance, if someone's intentions or feelings are easily understood or anticipated by others, it can be said that they "telegraphed" their thoughts or emotions.

   Overall, "telegraphed" refers to the act of transmitting a message through the telegraph system or conveying clear and easily understood communication.

Etymology of TELEGRAPHED

The word "telegraphed" is derived from the noun "telegraph", which refers to an early communication system that used electrical signals to transmit messages over long distances.
