trenched

/tɹˈɛntʃt/ verb

simple past and past participle of trench

Word Origin Trenched comes from trench, which goes back to Latin truncare 'to cut off, maim' — the same root as trunk and truncate. A trench is literally a 'cut' in the earth. Trenched can mean provided with trenches or cut into. The same root gives us entrench (dig in) and trenchant (cutting, sharp).
