Etymology of HARKENED
The word "harkened" is derived from the Middle English term "herknen", which itself evolved from the Old English word "heorcnian". This Old English term was a combination of the Germanic roots "heorcian" meaning "to listen" and "heorc" meaning "hearing". Over time, "herknen" transformed into "harken" in Middle English, and eventually "harkened" became the past participle form of the verb. The root of "harken" can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic word "hōrkijaną", which also means "to hearken" or "to listen attentively".
