      kind; to tire, make dull, or wear out by severe or tedious
      tasks; to harass.
      [1913 Webster]

            . . . checks at any vigorous undertaking ever after.

   Syn: To fatigue; tire; weary; harass.

   Usage: To {Jade}, {Fatigue}, {Tire}, {Weary}. Fatigue is the
          generic term; tire denotes fatigue which wastes the
          strength; weary implies that a person is worn out by
          exertion; jade refers to the weariness created by a
          long and steady repetition of the same act or effort.
          A little exertion will tire a child or a weak person;
          a severe or protracted task wearies equally the body
          and the mind; the most powerful horse becomes jaded on
          a long journey by a continual straining of the same
          muscles. Wearied with labor of body or mind; tired of
          work, tired out by importunities; jaded by incessant
          attention to business.
          [1913 Webster]
