Etymology: "Netted" is the simple past and past participle of "net", the verb meaning to catch or enclose with a mesh. The noun it comes from is shared across the Germanic languages: Dutch has "net", German "Netz", and the Gothic "nati" is recorded in an early Germanic translation, which points to a common ancestor for the word.
