'annoyed' originates from Old French, specifically the word 'anoier,' where 'an-' meant 'to' and 'oier' meant 'to hate or be troublesome.'

'anoier' transformed into the Middle English word 'anoien,' and eventually became the modern English word 'annoy.'

Initially, it meant 'to be troublesome or hateful,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to irritate or disturb.'
