Nguồn gốc từ

ine-pro The verb is from Middle English distressen, from Old French destrecier (to restrain, constrain, put in straits, afflict, distress); compare détresse. Ultimately from - as if *districtiō, an assumed frequentative form of Latin distringō (to pull asunder, stretch out), from dis- (apart) + stringō (to draw tight, strain).
