The word "vexation" has its origins in the 14th century. It comes from the Latin words "vexare" meaning "to trouble" and "vexatio" meaning "disturbance". The term initially referred to the act of troubling or disturbing someone, often in a physical sense. Over time, its meaning expanded to encompass emotional or mental distress, annoyance, or frustration. In the 16th century, the phrase "vexation of spirit" emerged, describing a deep-seated and long-standing sense of unease or discomfort. Today, the word "vexation" is used to describe the feeling of being troubled, bothersome, or irksome, often caused by a person, situation, or circumstance.
