Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum

Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Latin 'frustratus', past participle of 'frustrare' (to disappoint, deceive, or make vain), stemming from 'frustra' (in vain). The term entered English in the late 16th century, originally retaining a meaning close to defeated or rendered useless, before shifting toward the psychological sense of feeling upset through thwarted ambitions.
