Cloys

/klɔɪz/ verb, present tense third person singular

Definition

Causes someone to feel tired or sick of something through having too much of it.

Etymology

From the verb 'cloy,' which comes from Old French origins. This is the modern third-person singular present form (he/she/it cloys).

Kelly Says

Notice how 'chocolate cloys' but 'water doesn't'—your body actually stops processing dopamine reward signals when you have too much of something, which is why excess of even good things makes us sick.
