Etymology of ART STARTLED

There seems to be confusion regarding the term "art startled". It is likely a concatenation or misinterpretation of two separate words, "art" and "startled".

The word "art" comes from the Middle English word "art(e)" and Old French "art", both derived from the Latin word "ars" meaning "skill" or "craft". It originally referred to human skill or ability in creating or producing something.

On the other hand, "startled" is the past participle form of the verb "startle". It is derived from the Middle English word "startlen", which means "to run about" or "move suddenly". Over time, "startle" took on the meaning of "surprise" or "make someone jump suddenly due to a sudden shock or unexpected event".

However, the combination "art startled" does not form a recognized or conventional phrase in the English language.
