词源

词源 1
From Middle English tiren, tirien, teorien, from Old English tȳrian, tēorian (“to fail, cease, become weary, be tired, exhausted; tire, weary, exhaust”), of uncertain origin. Possibly from Proto-West Germanic *teuʀōn (“to cease”), which is possibly from Proto-Indo-European *dews- (“to fail, be behind, lag”). Compare Ancient Greek δεύομαι (deúomai, “to lack”), Sanskrit दोष (dóṣa, “crime, fault, vice, deficiency”).
词源 2
Probably from Middle English tir(e) (“equipment, furnshings, ornament”). See the details at tyre.
词源 3
From Middle English tire, from Old French tirer (“to draw or pull”), akin to English tear (“to rend”).
