Word origin
The word 'aggrieved' originated from the Old French word 'agrever', meaning 'make heavier, burden'. It entered the English language in the late 14th century with the sense of 'oppress, harass, distress'. Over time, it evolved to its current usage to describe a feeling of injustice or resentment. The legal usage of 'aggrieved' in the context of suffering an infringement of legal rights developed in the 19th century.
