Definition
Felt tired or disgusted by something that was once pleasant because you had too much of it.
Etymology
From Middle English 'cloyen,' possibly from Old French 'enclouer' (to nail shut), originally meant to block or surfeit. The sense shifted to describe the feeling of satisfaction turning to disgust through excess.
Kelly Says
Your brain stops enjoying things when they become predictable—this is why eating a whole cake makes you feel sick but a small slice brings joy. 'Cloyed' captures that exact moment when pleasure becomes punishment through excess.
