+ ==Etymology==

+ Its origin is unknown.^(de Vaan 2008)^(OLD 2012) It is a stative [[itc-pro|*taid-ē-]], beside an adjective *taid-ro- that may survive in [[taeter]] “foul”, but there is no good etymology for the root.^(de Vaan 2008) Lewis and Short compared the root of [[tumeō]], and Döderlein [[tardus]].^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(Döderlein 1874)

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It was impersonal, with an accusative of the person and a genitive or infinitive: it wearies, disgusts, I am tired or sick of, as Cicero's ''eōs vītae taedet'', they are tired of life.^(OLD 2012)^(Gaffiot 2016) Its perfect was ''taeduit'' or ''taesum est''.^(Lewis & Short 1879) Döderlein distinguishes [[piget]], what one cannot do or bear at all, from ''taedet'', what one can no longer do or bear, and [[paenitet]], what one wishes one had never done.^(Döderlein 1874)
