Etymology

The word 'nerve' stems from the Latin 'nervus,' meaning 'sinew' or 'tendon,' which relates to strength and vitality. Historically, 'nerves' were considered to be the source of power and resilience, both physically and emotionally. This linguistic evolution led to the verb 'to nerve,' which emerged in the early 19th century, signifying the act of instilling strength or courage into someone. As language evolved, 'nerved' became a way to describe the action of having summoned one's inner strength, especially in moments of duress. The usage of this term became particularly prevalent in literature and speeches, capturing the essence of human resilience.
