Etymology

The word "covered" derives from the Old French "covrir" (to cover), which itself traces back to the Latin "cooperire" (completely covered). The prefix "co-" (intensive) + "operire" (to close or cover) evolved into Middle English "coveren." The suffix "-ed" marks it as a past participle or adjective, indicating a completed action or state. The logic reflects physical concealment (e.g., a lid covering a jar) or abstract inclusion (e.g., a report covering all details).

  2. Her face was covered by a veil during the ceremony.

  3. The textbook covers all major historical events.

  4. Snow covered the mountains in winter.

  5. The journalist covered the political scandal extensively.
