Origin:
The word "stale" originally referred to something that had been standing for a long time, particularly bread that had become hard and dry. Over time, the meaning expanded to include anything that had become old, stale, or no longer valuable or desirable.
In the 14th century, the word "stale" was used in the sense of "out of date" or "obsolete." By the 16th century, it had acquired the additional meaning of "lacking freshness or originality."
The word "stale" is often used in conjunction with "stale air" or "stale news" to refer to something that has become stagnant, stagnant, or no longer relevant. It is also used in the phrase "stale mate" to describe a situation where no further progress can be made.
