LEVELLED Meaning and Definition

1. "Levelled" is a past tense and past participle form of the verb "level." It primarily refers to the action of making something flat, even, or equal in height or position. When an object or surface is levelled, it is uniformly balanced and free from any unevenness, slopes, or deviations. This action may involve removing or filling in any high or low points to create a smooth and evenly distributed surface.

   In construction and engineering, levelling pertains to the process of determining and adjusting the slope or elevation of a structure, such as a floor, road, or land. This is typically done using specialized leveling equipment, such as a spirit level or laser level, to ensure accuracy and precision. A leveled surface is crucial for the stability, functionality, and safety of various structures, as it allows for even weight distribution and proper functionality of utilities.

   Moreover, "levelled" can also be used figuratively to describe the act of making things equal or eliminating disparities. In this context, it refers to the process of removing inequalities, disparities, or differences, thereby creating a fair and balanced situation or outcome. It encompasses actions like equalizing opportunities, resources, or statuses to promote equity and fairness among individuals or groups. Whether in terms of physical surfaces or metaphorical scenarios, the process of leveling achieves uniformity and equilibrium.

2. Made even or flat; reduced to an equal state or condition; brought down.

Etymology of LEVELLED

The word levelled is derived from the base word level, which in turn comes from the Latin word libella. Libella referred to a tool used for determining if something is perfectly horizontal or flat.
