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

Origin of the word worried

The word "worried" has a long history, tracing back to the Old English word "wyrdan," meaning "to become" or "to happen." Over time, "wyrdan" evolved into "worian," meaning "to be anxious" or "to be troubled." This later developed into the Middle English word "worien," which in turn led to the modern English "worried." The root of "worried" is thus deeply connected to the idea of something happening or coming to pass, often with a negative connotation, reflecting the anxiety and unease associated with the unknown.
