∙ 11y agoA screw is a simple machine in which a sloping side ascends a column by circling it and ascending at the same time. Screws have been used to extract water from wells and to propel ships. Nowadays they are best known as a method of fastening used in jar lids ("screw tops") and to attach metal and wood. To use a screw to attach things is what the verb "to screw" means, so "screwed" means "attached with screws". E.g. "I screwed the desk lamp to the table."
However the slang meaning of 'to screw' means to have sex.
"Screwed" can also mean ruined. (From the slang meaning)
