gummed

/ˈɡəmd/ verb

simple past and past participle of gum

Word Origin Gum comes from Greek kommi, which was borrowed from Egyptian kemai, a resin from acacia trees. Gummed means coated or stuck with gum. The word traveled from Egypt to Greece to Latin to French to English. The same root gives us gummy, gumdrop, and gum arabic. So gummed is literally 'stuck with ancient Egyptian tree sap.'
