   Where does the word weary come from?

   • Weary is recorded far earlier, in the 800s. It comes from Old English wērig, meaning the same as weary: “tired, fatigued, exhausted.” This adjective is related to an Old English verb wōrian, “to crumble, break down, totter.” Ever feel so tired you’re going to fall apart? Apparently that’s what weary is getting at, etymologically speaking.
