" mowed "

[Verb]  | "mow" | \ ˈmō \

1: to cut down with a scythe or sickle or machine

2: to cut the standing herbage (such as grass) of

3: to kill or destroy in great numbers or mercilessly

Origin: before 12th century ;

 Middle English mowen, going back to Old English māwan (past participle māwen), going back to West Germanic *mēan- (whence, with a differing hiatus consonant, Old Frisian miā, miān "to mow," Middle Dutch maeyen, Old High German *māen), going back to an Indo-European verbal base *h2meh1- "reap, mow," whence also Greek amáō, amân "to reap, cut" (perhaps from *h2mh1-eh2-);

  * Note : Old English māwan is a Class VII strong verb (like cnāwan {know:1|know:1}, blāwan {blow:1|blow:1}), though a weak verb in later Middle and Modern English and in other Germanic languages. The element *-eh1- in *h2meh1- has been treated as a suffix, with a parallel derivative *h2m-et- yielding Italo-Celtic *met-, in Latin metō, metere "to reap, harvest, cut off," Welsh medaf, medi "to reap," Middle Breton midiff, Breton mediñ, Middle Irish meithel "reaping party," Welsh medel. Hittite hamešha(nt)- "spring, harvest time" has also been connected with *h2meh1-, though with some dispute. Cf. {aftermath|aftermath}, {meadow|meadow}.;
