Physical hurting or emotional suffering that you feel in your body or heart.
From Old French 'peine' meaning punishment or suffering, derived from Latin 'poena' meaning penalty or pain. The meaning evolved to describe any kind of physical or emotional discomfort.
Pain is one of the oldest words humans needed, so it traveled from Latin through French and into English nearly unchanged—showing how universal suffering is across all cultures and time periods.
