Etymology: * From Middle English suffren, from Old French sofrir, from Latin sufferre ("to bear, endure, tolerate, suffer"), from Proto-Indo-European *k̑eu̯- ("to swell, cover")
Meaning: * To experience or undergo something painful, distressing, or unpleasant. * To permit or allow something to happen or exist.
Origin: The word "suffering" has its origins in the Proto-Indo-European root *k̑eu̯-, which means "to swell, cover." This root is also the origin of words such as "cover," "cave," and "grave."
Over time, the meaning of "suffering" has evolved to include not only the physical pain associated with swelling, but also the emotional and psychological pain associated with distress and discomfort.
