Etymology

The term 'suffered' derives from the Latin word 'sufferre', which means 'to bear' or 'to carry'. This root consists of 'sub-' meaning 'under' and 'ferre' meaning 'to carry'. Over time, it evolved into the Old French word 'sofrir', and was incorporated into Middle English as 'soffren'. The transformation emphasized a sense of endurance or bearing pain. Historically, the concept of suffering has been linked to various philosophical, religious, and psychological discussions, exploring the human condition and experiences of pain or distress. The word began to be widely used in literature and both religious and secular texts to convey the complexities of human experiences, forming a foundational aspect of discussions around morality, empathy, and resilience.
