Usage Examples

Etymology

French **stress** (noun) is a 16th‑century borrowing from the Old French *estresse*, meaning “tension, strain.” *Estresse* traces back to Latin *strictus* (past participle of *stringere*, “to tighten”), which conveyed the idea of a tightened or strained state. The spelling shifted to the modern *stress* in the 19th century, influenced by the English word of the same origin.
