TOWELLED Meaning and Definition

1. Towelled is the past tense and past participle of the verb "towel." To towel means to dry or wipe something or someone using a towel. A towel is a rectangular piece of absorbent material, typically made of terrycloth or similar fabric, used for drying oneself or objects. When an individual has been towelled, it means they have been dried off or wiped down using a towel.

   The act of towelling involves using the towel to absorb moisture from the surface of the object or person. It may be done after taking a shower or bath, swimming, participating in water sports, or being exposed to rain. Towelling is a common practice to remove excess moisture, preventing discomfort, and maintaining hygiene.

   Towelled can also be used metaphorically to describe a thorough clean-up or drying off process that does not involve an actual towel. In this context, it implies the removal of any remaining traces or evidence of something, leaving a clean or dry outcome.

   Overall, "towelled" means the action or process of utilizing a towel to dry or wipe, removing moisture or debris, or as a metaphorical term, achieving a clean or dry outcome.

Etymology of TOWELLED

The word "towelled" is derived from the noun "towel", which originated from the Old English word "towele". This Old English term comes from the Proto-Germanic word "*tawwalō", which refers to a cloth or fabric used for drying or wiping. The connection to the word "tow" is believed to stem from the fact that earlier towels were often made from flax fibers called "tow", which were considered suitable for absorbing moisture. Over time, the verb form "towelled" emerged as a past tense of "towel" to describe the action of drying or rubbing with a towel.
