Etymology
The word 'chagrin' originated from the French language, from the word 'chagrin', which means 'sorrow' or 'grief'. This term made its way into English in the late 18th century, specifically around the late 1700s. The French term itself is thought to be derived from the Middle French 'chagrin', which also has connotations of distress and disappointment. Over time, the adjective form 'chagrined' developed in English to describe the state of being affected by this distress or embarrassment. It reflects a combination of feeling vexed and embarrassed, often in relation to one's own shortcomings or misfortunes.
