Weariness is a strong feeling of tiredness, either in the body, the mind, or both.
“Weariness” comes from “weary,” from Old English “wērig,” meaning “tired, exhausted,” plus the -ness ending to make a noun. The roots are ancient and tied to ideas of long effort and fatigue.
Weariness isn’t just low energy; it changes how you think, making problems feel bigger and patience feel smaller. Long-term weariness can trick you into believing that rest is laziness, when it’s actually the cure.
