Word origin

The word 'bitter' has Old English roots, tracing back to 'biter,' which is derived from the Proto-Germanic *bitaraz, meaning 'having a sharp taste.' Over time, 'bitter' evolved to encompass not only the taste but also an emotional state associated with resentment and sorrow. The transition from its original culinary connotation to emotional bitterness began in the Middle Ages as literature and poetry started to explore the complexities of human feelings. By the late 19th century, 'bittered' became a more commonly used form to encapsulate the experience of emotional distress stemming from life's trials and tribulations, often signifying a shift in perspective due to negative experiences.
