Common Misspellings for AGGRIEVE
Etymology of AGGRIEVE
The word aggrieve has its roots in Latin and Old French. It is derived from the Latin verb aggravare, which means to make heavier or to burden. The prefix ad- has been added to gravare to mean to make heavier or burdened in a more severe or painful way. This Latin form was then borrowed into Old French as agrever, which eventually evolved into the Middle English term aggreven. Over time, aggreven transformed into its present form aggrieve, which means to cause distress, suffering, or injury.
