This Mental Floss article on thirteen archaic terms for burn-out caught my attention.
For some reason.
If I have to pick a favourite it’d be “Overcark” an “obsolete term from the 14th century means “overwork.” According to the OED, it was created by combining the word over with the word cark, meaning “that which burdens the spirit, trouble; hence, troubled state of mind, distress, anxiety; anxious solicitude, labor, or toil.”
