Etymology of FATHERED
The word "fathered" is derived from the noun "father" and the suffix "-ed".
The noun "father" can be traced back to the Old English word "fæder", which is derived from the Proto-Germanic word "*fadēr". This Proto-Germanic root can be further traced back to the Proto-Indo-European word "*pəter", meaning "father".
The suffix "-ed" is used in English to form the past tense or past participle of regular verbs. It comes from the Old English "-ede" or "-ode", which developed from the Proto-Germanic suffix "-id-" or "-ōd-".
