Etymology of WOKEN
The word "woken" is the past participle of the verb "wake". The etymology of "wake" can be traced back to the Old English word "wacan" which meant "to be awake" or "to be watchful". "Wacan" is believed to have Germanic origins, deriving from the Proto-Germanic root word "*wakjanan". Over time, the Old English verb "wacan" evolved to "waken" and eventually into "wake" in Modern English. The addition of the "-en" suffix in "woken" forms the past participle tense of the verb "wake", indicating that someone has been awakened from sleep or a state of rest.
