Derived from the late Latin verb aggravatus (past participle of aggravare, meaning to make heavy or burden), entering English in the early 17th century through Middle French. It combines the prefix ad- (to) with gravis (heavy), shifting over time from physical burdens to the intensification of pain, trouble, or annoyance.
