    The earliest verb form of humbled in the sense of “I have been struck down by an external force” is Shakespeare, 1591

    But! The verb form of humbled in the sense of “I am bringing myself low” is actually from 1380! It’s the earliest sense of the word!

    🤯

    This is fascinating because inventing the dynamic sense of an external event forcing humility upon a person, is very Shakespeare.
