Étymologie (Anglais)

From Middle High German beswæren (“to afflict, to depress, to annoy”), from Old High German biswāren (“to depress, to burden”) (10th c.), from swāren (“heavy”) (8th c.) whence schwer. The reflexive sense developed later in the 14th century from "to burden oneself", "to fret" to "to complain about something worrisome, burdensome".
