Word origin
The word 'tedious' originated from the Latin word 'taediosus', meaning 'irksome' or 'wearisome'. It entered the English language in the late 15th century. Over time, its usage expanded to describe anything that is long, slow, or dull. The concept of tedium has been a common experience throughout history, as people have always had to deal with tasks or situations that are tiresome or monotonous.
