PITTED Meaning and
Definition
-
Pitted is an adjective that describes something that has indentations or small depressions on its surface, often resembling small pits or cavities. This term is commonly used to describe objects such as fruits, stones, or surfaces, especially ones that appear textured or rough due to the presence of these pits.
In the context of fruits, pitted refers to the state of having the seeds or stones removed, leaving behind a hollow or cavity. Examples include pitted olives, cherries, or peaches, which are commonly sold in this form for culinary purposes or ease of consumption.
When applied to surfaces or objects, pitted suggests the presence of small holes or shallow depressions, often resulting from wear, erosion, corrosion, or physical impact. For instance, a pitted road may have uneven, rough sections due to damage caused by weather or traffic conditions. Similarly, a pitted metal surface may have small craters due to rust or surface degradation.
In a more metaphorical sense, pitted can also describe a feeling of being defeated or thrown into hardships. This usage originated from the idea of being trapped or stuck in a pit, evoking a sense of struggle or adversity.
Overall, pitted refers to the state of having small holes or depressions, whether physically on a surface or metaphorically in a challenging situation.

Etymology of PITTED
The word "pitted" originates from the noun "pit", which has Old English and Old Norse roots.
In Old English, the word "pytt" or "pyttan" meant a hole or cavity, often referring to a small hole in the ground. It has Proto-Germanic origins, where "puzdō" meant a pit or hole. The word is also related to the Old Norse term "pytt" and the Old High German word "fuz" which share the same meaning.
Over time, the verb form "to pit" emerged, meaning to create or place in a pit or cavity. This usage likely emerged from the noun's association with holes in the ground. The past participle of the verb "pit" gave rise to the adjective "pitted", which originally referred to being marked or indented with pits or holes.
