Etymology:
Meaning:
To resent or be discontented about something; to feel annoyed or bitter because of a loss, disappointment, or someone else's success.
Origin:
The word "begrudge" has its origins in the Late Latin verb *broccidare, which is not attested in any written sources. However, it is believed to be related to the French verb "brocher," meaning "to stitch" or "to prick." This suggests that the original sense of "begrudge" may have been to mutter or complain in an underhanded way, like a stitch in the side.
Over time, the word "begrudge" evolved to mean a more general sense of resentment or ill-will. It is often used to describe feelings of envy or jealousy towards someone who has something that we perceive ourselves to be lacking.
