Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium. Particularly: “The reference given does not support most of the claims.”)From screw +‎ -ed. - The modern sense of screwed originates in the mid-1600s with a sense of to screw as a means of "exerting pressure or coercion", probably in reference to instruments of torture (e.g. thumbscrews).[1] It quickly gained a wider general sense of "in a bind; in unfortunate inescapable circumstances". When the verb screw gained a sexual connotation in the early 1700s,[2] it joined the long-lasting association of sexual imagery as a metaphor for domination, leading to screwed gaining synonyms like fucked and shagged. On a more general note, this is a prime example of the frequent tendency for verb participles to evolve into adjectives. - The sense meaning "intoxicated" is from the early 1800s, and is associated with the term screwy, and the idiom to have a screw loose.[1] [References] edit 1.↑ 1.0 1.1 Douglas Harper (2001–2021) , “screw”, in Online Etymology Dictionary 2. ^ Douglas Harper (2001–2021) , “screw”, in Online Etymology Dictionary [Synonyms] edit - (beset, vulgar): fucked, dicked, shagged (British); see also Thesaurus:in trouble - (intoxicated): See Thesaurus:drunk [Verb] editscrewed 1.simple past tense and past participle of screw He screwed the boards together tightly.
