Origin & History

From the verb “irk” (to annoy), likely from Scottish/Old English sources meaning “to weary, be tired of”; “irked” is the past form and also an adjectival use meaning ‘annoyed’.

यह क्रिया “irk” (चिढ़ाना/परेशान करना) से बना है, जिसका स्रोत संभवतः स्कॉटिश/प्राचीन अंग्रेज़ी रूपों से जुड़ा है जिनका अर्थ “थका देना/ऊबा देना” था; “irked” इसका भूतकाल/भूतकृदंत रूप है और विशेषण रूप में भी ‘झुंझलाया हुआ’ अर्थ देता है।
