Plagued

/pleɪɡd/ verb

Definition

Troubled or bothered repeatedly by something harmful or annoying; or struck by an actual plague disease.

Etymology

From Old French 'plage,' from Latin 'plaga' meaning 'stroke' or 'wound.' Originally meant struck by literal plague, then evolved to mean any persistent trouble.

Kelly Says

The Black Plague killed about 75-200 million people and changed human civilization forever—it actually improved workers' rights because so many people died that laborers suddenly had bargaining power!
