Word origin
The word burdensome originated from the combination of the words 'burden' and 'some'. 'Burden' comes from the Old English 'byrthen', meaning 'a load, weight, or charge'. The suffix '-some' is used to form adjectives indicating 'characterized by' or 'full of'. Therefore, burdensome literally means 'full of burden' or 'characterized by burden'. The word has been used in English since the late 16th century.
