Have any of you ever wondered where the word Bore originated from?
I've been thinkin of it since today morning....did it come from the early man himself? Did he sit in his cave n hit himself on the head with a club sayin 'bo bo' wen he had nothing to do....this being passed down though generations and evolutions..along with the wheel?
Or was it like the Newton incident...some enlightened soul sitting under a tree, in a very vacant, restless state of mind...trying to figure out wat emotion he was going through...concluding he had to name it (to bad he dint think of patenting it...he wud have gained fortunes)..n finally calling it 'bore' coz he saw a wild boar advancing towards him?
Or was it by some King named Borr...in whose kingdom, most of the people had nothing to do coz the neighbouring slave country did everything...n hence the state of mind numbing joblessness came to b called borrdom...n finally boredom?
So after many more random thots of how it must have cme thru in all phases of history, i finally decided to google 'origin of the word bored' (u dont think i was named 'vetti' witout reason do u?)
n here's wat i got:
Origin: bef. 900; ME; OE borian; c. OHG borōn, ON bora, L forāre
Anybody care to explain?
Bore probably originated from "bore" as in pierce... when u r bored...u get a nagging feeling of someone piercing something thru u right...
