Etymology
The word 'troubles' originated in Middle English from the Old French word 'trouble', which means 'disturbance' or 'agitation'. It has been used in English since the 13th century. The term 'The Troubles' specifically refers to the ethno-nationalist conflict in Northern Ireland, which was characterized by political and sectarian violence. The Good Friday Agreement in 1998 marked a significant milestone in resolving the conflict.
