Definition
Past tense of dredge: to scoop or dig material from the bottom of a body of water, or to bring up something from the past.
Etymology
From Middle English 'dregge,' possibly related to Dutch 'dregging.' The word originally referred to the fishing net or tool used, then became the verb describing the action of pulling up sediment or forgotten memories.
Kelly Says
When archaeologists dredge rivers for ancient artifacts or when 'dredging up' old arguments in a fight, both use a word that literally means scraping the bottom—it's the perfect metaphor!
