Moving stresses my dog out. So does packing...and cleaning. So does being left at home, especially when any of the aforementioned activities have happened recently. So between moving, my husband packing and leaving on a trip, and me using the vacuum all afternoon, she's a wreck.

Stress dates to the 1300's from Middle French destresse and Old French estrece. Destresse is also the forebear of distress and derives from Vulgar Latin *districtia ("restraint, affliction, narrowness, distress") from Latin districtus. Estrece ("narrowness, oppression") comes from Vulgar Latin *strictia from Latin strictus ("compressed"), which ultimately comes from Proto-Indo-European *strenk- ("tight, narrow; pull tight, twist").

The original noun definition in the 14th century was "hardship, adversity, force, pressure." The verb version of this word appears around the same time as the noun with the definition "to subject (someone) to force or compulsion." To "put emphasis on" is first attested in 1896 and the psychological sense of being stressed out is attested from 1942.
