engrained

/ɛŋɡɹˈeɪnd/ verb

simple past and past participle of engrain

Word Origin Engrained (or ingrained) means deeply fixed, as if dyed into the grain. It's the past participle of 'engrain', from Latin 'in-' + 'granum' (grain). The image is of a color that's worked into the very texture of the fabric, impossible to remove. So an engrained belief is one that's part of your fiber. The same 'granum' root gives us 'grainy' and 'granular'.
