feeblenessnoun

nhu nhược

/ˈfiːblnəs//ˈfiːblnəs/

"Feebleness" derives from the Old French word "feblesse," meaning "weakness" or "frailty." This, in turn, comes from the Latin "febris," meaning "fever," which was associated with weakness and illness. Over time, the meaning shifted from specific illness to a broader sense of physical or mental weakness, resulting in the modern English "feebleness."
