hymned

Hymned is a term that can refer to several things, primarily related to the act of singing or celebrating with a hymn. A hymn is a religious song or poem, typically of praise to God or a god. Therefore, "hymned" can describe something that has been sung or praised in the form of a hymn.

In a literary context, "hymned" might be used metaphorically to suggest that something has been highly praised or celebrated, even if not in a literal song. For example, a poet might describe a hero as having been "hymned in song and story," meaning their deeds were widely celebrated.

The term can also appear in the context of music. A choir or congregation might have "hymned" a particular piece during a service, indicating they sang it as a hymn. The word is derived from "hymn," which has roots in the Greek word "hymnos," meaning a song of praise. Usage of "hymned" typically implies a formal or reverent tone, fitting the nature of hymns themselves.
