Brended

/ˈbrendɪd/ adjective

Definition

Mixed or blended together, particularly used in historical contexts to describe substances or materials that have been combined.

Etymology

Past participle of 'brend,' an archaic or dialectal verb meaning to blend or mix, possibly related to Old English 'brentan' meaning to burn or blend through heat.

Kelly Says

This is a word that's largely disappeared from modern English, but it shows how verbs describing the physical act of combining things have evolved—what we now call 'blending' was once 'brending.'
