Etymology: "Bothered" is the past participle of "bother," which took on its adjective sense of being troubled or uneasy as it was used. The verb itself first appears in print around 1767, in Anglo-Irish usage, and its origin is uncertain. One suggestion links it to the Irish "bodhraigh," meaning "to deafen" or "to annoy," but that connection is not firmly established.
