Origin & History

From hard + working; 'hard' (Old English heard, meaning ‘firm, difficult’) + 'work' (Old English weorc), with the participial adjective 'working' forming 'hardworking' (attested especially from the 19th century).

'hard' + 'working' से बना; 'hard' (पुरानी अंग्रेज़ी heard: ‘कठोर/कठिन’) + 'work' (पुरानी अंग्रेज़ी weorc), और 'working' (कर्मवाचक/वर्तमान कृदंत) से मिलकर 'hardworking' बना (विशेष रूप से 19वीं शताब्दी से प्रचलित)।
