Meaning and Origin:
The verb "grieve" originally meant to cause pain or distress to someone. It was used in the sense of "to harm, burden, or oppress." Over time, its meaning narrowed to refer specifically to the experience of intense sadness or sorrow, typically caused by the loss of a loved one or something cherished.
The noun "grief" emerged from the verb in the 14th century and came to denote the state of profound sadness and emotional pain associated with a loss. It is often used in reference to the process of mourning and the feelings that accompany it.
