annoyed

the word 'annoyed' is formed from the verb 'annoy' and the adjectival suffix '-ed'. the verb 'annoy' entered english via anglo-norman and old french, tracing back to the late latin phrase 'in odio' (hateful), from 'in' (in) and 'odium' (hatred). the core concept is of something being made hateful or bothersome. the suffix '-ed' is a native english morpheme used to create participial adjectives, indicating the state resulting from the action of the verb. thus, 'annoyed' literally describes the state of having been made to feel hatred or irritation, which has softened in modern usage to denote a milder feeling of displeasure or impatience.

Structure: annoy + ed annoy: from old french 'anoiier', 'enuier', meaning "to weary, vex, molest", ultimately from latin 'in odio' (a phrase meaning "hateful to"). ed: a suffix of english origin used to form adjectives from verbs or nouns, indicating a state or condition.
