tired

1[tahyuhrd]


1. enervated. Tired, exhausted, fatigued, wearied, weary suggest a condition in which a large part of one's energy and vitality has been consumed.

One who is tired has used up a considerable part of his or her bodily or mental resources: to feel tired at the end of the day.

One who is exhausted is completely drained of energy and vitality, usually because of arduous or long-sustained effort:exhausted after a hard run.

One who is fatigued has consumed energy to a point where rest and sleep are demanded: feeling rather pleasantly fatigued.

One who is wearied has been under protracted exertion or strain that has gradually worn out his or her strength: wearied by a long vigil.

Weary suggests a more permanent condition than wearied: weary of struggling against misfortunes.
