Etymology

The term 'bushed' originates from American English, where it was likely derived in the early 20th century from the word 'bush,' which can denote an area of dense or tangled vegetation. The idea is that someone who is 'bushed' is as fatigued as a bush is when it has been trampled or worn down by external forces. The informal use of the word gained popularity in various contexts and found its place in everyday conversation, especially among those describing physical exertion. Over time, 'bushed' became a colloquial term frequently used to reflect a profound level of fatigue, sometimes humorously exaggerated. It is now widely used in spoken and informal written English, often found in dialogues and casual writing.
