Etymology

The word 'sorrow' comes from the Old English 'sorr', which means 'grief' or 'sadness'. This term has Germanic roots, appearing in related forms in other languages, such as 'sorge' in German and 'sorg' in Dutch, both of which also mean 'concern' or 'grief'. The transformation from a noun to a verb form with the addition of an 'ed' ending has been a common linguistic practice in English, particularly for expressing the past tense. The concept of sorrow is deeply ingrained in human experience, relating to feelings of loss or disappointment, which have been expressed in literature and art throughout history.
