Root Explanation

Logged → The word 'logged' comes from 'log' (from Old English 'logg', meaning a fallen tree or a piece of wood) and the suffix '-ed' (indicating a past action). Thus, 'logged' refers to the action of having cut down or recorded something related to logs or wood.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'log' as a piece of wood that has been 'cut down' or 'recorded' — that's why 'logged' means to have done something with logs.
