Etymology

The word 'nauseated' originates from the Latin term 'nauseatus', the past participle of 'nauseare', which means to feel seasick. This Latin root is connected to 'nausea', a term used to describe the sensation of discomfort in the stomach with an urge to vomit. The transition into English occurred around the early 1600s, as medical terminology began to adopt terms from Latin and Greek for more precise descriptions of symptoms. Over time, 'nauseated' has evolved into common usage, particularly in the context of both physical illness and emotional responses to stimuli deemed unpleasant. The word conveys a visceral reaction of discomfort and has been frequently used in literature and conversation to express feelings of sickness.
