WADES Meaning and
Definition
-
Wade is a verb that can have a couple of different meanings. Firstly, it refers to the act of walking or moving through water, typically a shallow body of water. In this context, it suggests walking with difficulty due to the resistance offered by the water.
Wade can also mean to become involved in something, often a difficult or complicated situation, usually without proper consideration or preparation. It implies that the individual is willingly immersing themselves into some kind of challenging or risky venture. This usage is metaphorical, and it is similar to the idiomatic expression "to jump in with both feet." For example, someone might "wade into a contentious debate" or "wade into a heated argument" indicating their active participation and engagement in the argument or debate.
The word "wade" can also be used in a literal sense to describe the act of moving through a substance or material that is thick or difficult to move in, like wading through mud or snow.
Additionally, "wade" is an irregular verb with the past tense "waded" and the continuous tense "wading". It can be used intransitively, meaning it does not require a direct object, or transitively, meaning it takes a direct object. For example, a person can "wade through the river" or "wade in the river."

Etymology of WADES
The word "wades" is primarily derived from the Old English word "wadan", which means "to go" or "to proceed". This Old English term can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic root word "wadaną", meaning "to go, to walk". It is also related to the Old Norse word "vaða", which carries a similar meaning. Over time, "wades" evolved and became the present tense form of the verb "wade", which specifically refers to walking through water or another liquid substance.
