+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[af|la|in-|doleō|-scō|t2=to feel pain]].^(OLD 2012)^(TLL) Wiktionary also analyses it as ⟨in-⟩ with [[m|la|dolēscō]].^(Wiktionary) De Vaan traces [[m|la|doleō]] to [[itc-pro|*dolē-|t=to cause pain]] and [[ine-pro|*dolh1-eie-|t=to split]], a causative of the root for “chop”: pain was felt as being torn apart.^(de Vaan 2008)

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ The TLL records it from Cicero, Ovid and Celsus on.^(TLL) In the ''Philippics'' Cicero asks who there was who did not grieve to learn it so late: ''quis … qui non indoluerit, tam sero se … cognoscere?''.^(Lewis & Short 1879)

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ Lewis & Short say it is mostly post-Augustan.^(Lewis & Short 1879) Of the body it is to hurt or ache: Celsus has a spot that aches slightly when touched, and Pliny the Elder aching eyes.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) Of the mind it is to grieve or be distressed, very often in Ovid, who constructs it with an infinitive, an ablative or an accusative, as ''id ipsum indoluit Iuno'', “Juno was pained at that very thing”.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) Tacitus has it of being pained that young men were made equal to one's own old age.^(Lewis & Short 1879) Justin uses it with an accusative, to feel pain at people's touch.^(Lewis & Short 1879) Sidonius and Minucius Felix have a gerundive.^(Lewis & Short 1879)
