Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Latin 'exhaustus', past participle of 'exhaurire', meaning 'to draw out' or 'empty', formed from 'ex-' (out) and 'haurire' (to draw water). Entering English in the late 16th century, it initially meant to drain or draw off liquid, later expanding to physical fatigue and the emission of waste gases.
