ταλαίπωρος
Lemma: ταλαίπωρος
Translation: miserable; wretched; suffering; unfortunate (adjective)
Etymology: From Ancient Greek ταλαίπωρος (talaípōros), composed of τλάω (tlao, 'to endure, suffer') and πῶρος (pōros, 'callus, hardness'). The word literally means 'one who endures hardship'. The root τλα- is related to the same Indo-European root that gives us English words like 'tolerate' and 'tolerance'.
