Definition of undefined

The word "thirsty" traces its roots back to the Old English word "þyrst," which means "thirst." This word evolved from the Proto-Germanic "þurstiz," itself derived from the Proto-Indo-European "dʰers-," meaning "to be dry." Over time, "þyrst" morphed into "thurst" in Middle English and finally into "thirsty" in Modern English. While the word initially referred only to a physical need for water, it eventually acquired its metaphorical meaning of strong desire or longing.
