Meaning:
To make something worse, more serious, or more severe
Origin:
The concept of aggravation as a means of intensifying or worsening something can be traced back to ancient Rome. In Roman law, aggravare was used to describe the act of "loading" or "burdening" someone with additional weight or charges.
Over time, the term came to be applied more broadly to any situation where something was made more difficult, painful, or unpleasant. By the 16th century, "aggravate" had entered the English language, where it continues to be used in a variety of contexts.
