Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the obsolete verb 'jade' meaning to exhaust or tire a horse, stemming from the Old Norse noun 'jálda' (mare). By the late 16th century, it shifted from describing a physically worn-out animal to describing a person fatigued, dulled, or cynical from overexposure to something.
