Etymology
The word 'embittered' is derived from the verb 'embitter', which originates from the combination of the prefix 'em-' meaning 'to cause to be' and the word 'bitter'. The concept of bitterness in language relates to experiencing intense resentment or disappointment. Both the noun 'bitterness' and its verbal form can be traced back to the Old English 'bitter', which means having a sharp taste or causing pain. Initially, the term was used in a literal sense to describe food and beverages but evolved to acquire a figurative meaning associated with emotional pain or resentment over time. The transition signifies how experiences shape language, as personal suffering became tied to the metaphor of bitterness.
