fatiguing

/fəˈtiɡɪŋ/ verb

present participle and gerund of fatigue

Word Origin Fatigue comes from Latin fatigare 'to tire out', which might be related to a root meaning 'to split' — as if exhaustion cracks you open. The word indefatigable (in- 'not' + de- 'completely' + fatigable) means 'untiring', literally 'not able to be completely tired out'. So fatiguing is the process of wearing someone down.
