SANDWICHED Meaning and
Definition
-
Sandwiched is an adjective used to describe a situation in which something or someone is tightly positioned or squeezed between two or more objects or entities. The term originated from the concept of a sandwich, a type of food consisting of two slices of bread with fillings in between. In a literal sense, when something is sandwiched, it is caught or wedged between two solid surfaces, applying pressure from both sides. This can refer to objects being tightly compressed between two other objects or being constricted in a narrow space.
Figuratively, sandwiched refers to being placed in an uncomfortable or difficult position between two opposing forces, ideas, or situations. It implies a feeling of being trapped or caught between two conflicting interests or obligations. It can also describe a person or group of people being caught between two opposing entities or circumstances, unable to escape or find a resolution.
The term can be applied to various contexts, such as being sandwiched between two vehicles in heavy traffic, sandwiched between two aggressive competitors in a market, or being sandwiched between conflicting responsibilities at work and home. It captures the sense of being tightly packed or constrained, both physically and metaphorically.

Etymology of SANDWICHED
The word sandwiched is derived from the word sandwich. Sandwich originated in the 18th century and is named after John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich. It is believed that the term was coined because the Earl was known for ordering this type of food. The original story goes that he requested meat to be placed between two slices of bread so that he could continue playing cards without using utensils or getting his hands greasy. Over time, this type of food became widely popular, and the term sandwich was eventually used metaphorically to describe something that is squeezed or pressed between two other things, giving rise to the verb sandwiched.
