Etymology of WERT HANDICAPPED
The term handicapped originated from a 17th-century phrase hand in cap. It was commonly used in various sport activities, particularly horse racing, to describe a betting system. In this system, competitors' names were written on pieces of paper, which were then placed in a cap or hat. Each piece of paper was weighed to ensure that all participants had an equal chance of winning. However, if a competitor was considered to be stronger or more skilled than others, extra weight would be added to their paper, tipping the scales in favor of the other contestants.
Over time, the term handicap began to be used more broadly to describe any disadvantage or impairment that hindered a person's ability to perform certain tasks or activities. The word wert is an archaic form of the verb were, which was used in Middle English to indicate the second person singular of the past tense of the verb to be.
