The answer
HEARD
What heard means
Perceived or became aware of sound through the ears, or learned about something through communication from another person.
Where the word comes from
From Old English "hierdan" or "heordan," meaning to listen or perceive by ear. This traces back to Proto-Germanic "*hauzdianą," derived from "*hausaz," the root for "hearing" or "ear." The word is related to Old Norse "heyra" and German "hören." The sense shifted gradually from the physical act of perceiving sound to understanding or learning of something.
