bottled
UK: ˈbɒtld | US: ˈbɑːtld
adj. 1. Contained or stored in a bottle.
adj. 2. (of emotions) Suppressed or restrained.
v. Past tense and past participle of "bottle" (to seal in a container).
The word "bottle" originates from Old French boteille, derived from Late Latin butticula (small cask), a diminutive of Latin buttis (cask). The suffix "-ed" is a productive English morpheme indicating past tense or adjectival state. Thus, "bottled" literally means "placed into a bottle" or "having the qualities of being confined," reflecting both physical containment and metaphorical restraint.
