BRAIDED Meaning and Definition

1. Braided is an adjective that refers to something formed or created by interweaving or intertwining three or more strands, threads, or parts. This term is commonly used to describe hair, where it typically indicates the act of arranging strands of hair into interlaced patterns or structures. Braided hairstyles often involve dividing the hair into sections and crossing these sections over each other in a deliberate and systematic manner, resulting in an intricate intertwining of the strands. This technique has been practiced for centuries and is used in various cultures around the world to create unique and diverse hairstyles.

Etymology of BRAIDED

The word "braided" originated from the Middle English term "breyde" which means "to plait or weave together".

This Old English word is derived from the Proto-Germanic word "burgadjaną", which means "to weave" or "to intertwine".
