Etymology
The word 'misery' originated from Middle English 'miserie', from Anglo-Norman French 'miserie', from Latin 'misera' (wretched) + '-ie' (noun-forming suffix). The concept of misery has been a part of human experience throughout history, often associated with poverty, suffering, and hardship. The word has evolved to encompass both the emotional state of distress and the external conditions that cause such distress.
