Burned or scorched; reduced to charcoal or blackened by fire.
Past tense of chark; from char with historical variant forms used in English dialects to describe the result of controlled burning.
Archaeological evidence shows that humans have been charking wood for over 400,000 years, making it one of our oldest technologies—it's literally how we cooked food and created the first permanent dark pigments.
