unsteadied

/ʌnstˈɛdid/ verb

simple past and past participle of unsteady

Word Origin Steady comes from stead, an Old English word for 'place, firm standing' — so steady means firmly in place. Unsteadied is the past participle of unsteady, meaning to make something lose its firmness. The root stead also appears in instead (in place of) and homestead. The PIE root *stā- 'to stand' gives us stand, stable, state, and constant.
