Tired, weary, or exhausted; in a state of fatigue or boredom from something that has been happening for a long time.
From a- (intensifying prefix) + weary (Old English wērig). This archaic form appears frequently in Shakespeare and Romantic poetry as an intensified version of 'weary.'
When Juliet says she grows 'aweary' of her nurse's prattling, Shakespeare chose this word to show not just tiredness but a kind of existential exhaustion—perfect for teenagers everywhere.
