Word origin
The word 'spoiled' originated from the Middle English word 'spilen', which means 'to damage or ruin'. Over time, the meaning has evolved to include descriptions of both physical and emotional damage. The concept of being spoiled can be traced back to the 17th century, where it was used to describe children who were overindulged and therefore became unappreciative or entitled.
