Example: I’m not sure what has made me more nauseated—the disgusting food or the server’s disgusting comments.

Where doesÌınauseated come from?

The first records of the adjective nauseated come from the 1600s. It is thought to ultimately derive from the Greek ²Ô²¹³Ü²õíÄå, meaning “seasickness,†from ²Ô²¹Ã»²õ, meaning “ship†(the same root is the basis of the word nautical).

People can become nauseated from seasickness and many other conditions that affect the stomach, such as motion sickness, morning sickness, carsickness, anxiety, or from the side effects of medications. People often feel nauseated due to something they ate. When you’re nauseated, the very thought of eating can make you even more nauseated. In all of these cases, the word nauseous is probably more commonly used, whereas nauseated is more commonly used to describe someone who feels disgust toward someone or something.
