Answer

CHOSE

This word is the simple past tense of the verb 'choose,' which comes from Old English 'ceosan.' It describes the act of having selected something from multiple options. The word has Germanic roots and is related to the Dutch word 'kiezen' and German 'kiesen,' both meaning to choose or select.
