Definition of undefined

The word "annoy" has a rather fascinating history. It originated in the 14th century from the Old French word "ennuer," which means "to worry" or "to trouble." The French word is derived from the Latin "inconendere," which means "to disturb" or "to trouble." Over time, the spelling and meaning of the word evolved, and by the 15th century, "annoy" had adopted its modern sense of causing bother or irritation to someone. In the 16th century, the word began to take on a more nuanced meaning, implying not only causing trouble but also causing frustration or vexation. Today, "annoy" is a common verb used to describe any action or situation that causes discomfort, irritation, or annoyance.
