The word "jaded" originated from Middle English, through Old French "jade" and "jaade", which referred to a worn-out, tired, or overworked horse. The exact origin of "jade" in French is unclear, but it may come from Spanish "yegua de jade" (a mare from the Jade River) and possibly ultimately from Arabic "yahd" (a mare). The term "jaded" gradually extended its meaning from horses to humans, describing a weariness or lack of enthusiasm, often resulting from overwork or too much experience.
