What does Fanned really mean?

Fanned is a word that we commonly use to describe the action of waving something, like a fan, back and forth in order to create a breeze or to cool oneself down. It can also mean that something is spread out or scattered in a particular direction, resembling the shape of a fan. When we say something is fanned, it means it is arranged or distributed in a way that resembles the shape or movement of a fan. Imagine you are holding a fan on a hot summer day. What do you do with it? You wave it back and forth to create a cool breeze, right? That's exactly what the word "fanned" means. So, when something is fanned, it's like that motion of waving the fan. Just like the air moves when you fan yourself or someone's hair gets spread out when the wind blows, something that is fanned also has that kind of spreading or scattering motion.
