Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Latin 'exhaustus', past participle of 'exhaurire' meaning 'to draw out' or 'drain', formed from 'ex-' (out) and 'haurire' (to draw water). Entering Middle English via French in the late 16th century, the meaning evolved from physically draining a resource or container to the state of being completely drained of physical or mental energy.
