Etymology

The word 'drudge' has its origins in the early 15th century, derived from the Middle English term 'drudgen,' which meant to work hard or toil. This term itself may have connections to the Old English word 'drud,' meaning a laborer or someone engaged in hard physical work. The evolution of the word signifies the grueling nature of certain jobs that require endurance and persistence. Over time, 'drudge' has come to symbolize not just the act of hard work but also the weariness and lack of excitement that can accompany such endeavors. Today, it highlights the often unglamorous side of labor, emphasizing the mental and physical toll it takes on individuals.
