bended

The word 'bend' originates from the Old English 'bendan', meaning "to fetter or constrain with a string," which is derived from the Proto-Germanic 'bandijaną', meaning "to tie or bind." This, in turn, traces back to the Proto-Indo-European root 'bʰendʰ-', signifying "to bind or tie." The modern sense of "to curve or make crooked" evolved from the idea of pulling something taut with a string, which causes it to curve. 'Bended' is an archaic or poetic past participle form, largely supplanted by 'bent' in modern usage, except in fixed phrases like "on bended knee."

The word 'bended' is a past tense and past participle form of the verb 'bend'. The root 'bend' is a simplex form of Germanic origin. The suffix '-ed' is an inflectional suffix from Old English, used to form the past tense and past participle of verbs.
