Etimoloxía (Inglés)

Herdado de Middle English: heorteece

Herdado de Old English: heorteċe

In summary

From Middle English heorteece, heorte-ece, from Old English heorteċe, equivalent to heart + ache. Blends both literal and figurative aspects, as emotional distress sometimes includes a physical element of chest discomfort. Compare heartbreak § Etymology, where the literal aspect is lesser, though it still has a physiological basis.
