うるさい

Etymology
Probably originally a compound of, from the sense that something is so overwhelming that one feels pressured to yield or submit in some way.

The earliest texts used this word to mean something more like "overwhelmed by how completely thorough something is (in a positive sense), or by how excessive and repetitive something is (in a negative sense)". Over time, the term was used less and less in a positive sense, and the focus from the late gradually became a negative sense of oppression and annoyance from something troublesome, repetitive, or overwhelming. Usage then shifted further, such that the term described not the speaker's own internal state, but rather the troublesome quality of the cause of the emotional response.

First cited to works from the early 900s.
