Definition

Dredged is the past tense and past participle of the verb dredge. The term "dredge" has multiple meanings, depending on the context in which it is used.
One common definition of dredged relates to the process of removing sediment, debris, or other materials from the bottom of a body of water.

Etymology of DREDGED
The word "dredged" is derived from the verb "dredge", which originated from Middle English "dredgen" or "dreggen".
