Definition of the word <b>stressed</b>

Origin of the word stressed

The word "stressed" originated from the past participle of the verb "stress," which ultimately derives from the Latin word "strictus," meaning "tight" or "drawn tight." The concept of "stress" as a physical force was established first, with the metaphorical extension to emotional pressure appearing later. This metaphorical shift happened around the 17th century, and the word "stressed" gained popularity in the 20th century as a way to describe the psychological effects of pressure and strain.
