Having a particular type of mind or being inclined toward something (usually used in compound forms like 'like-minded').
From Old English 'mynd' (mind) + '-ed' (adjective suffix). The 'a-' prefix intensifies the quality, similar to 'advised' or 'disposed,' giving it the sense of being mentally oriented or disposed toward something.
This word is almost always used in combinations—'like-minded' people appear constantly in history, from medieval monasteries to modern tech startups, showing how humans naturally cluster with others who think similarly.
