Etymology
'annoyer' originates from Old French, specifically the word 'anoier', which in turn comes from Vulgar Latin '*inodiare' built from Latin 'odium' meaning 'hatred' (the idea of causing dislike or aversion).
'annoyer' changed from Old French 'anoier' (from Vulgar Latin '*inodiare') into Middle English forms and eventually became the modern English word 'annoy' and the related noun 'annoyer'.
Initially it meant 'to cause hatred or make odious', but over time it evolved into the current sense 'to irritate or bother'.
