adj. 1. exhausted of physical or emotional energy; fatigued.
adj. 2. emptied of liquid or content.
vt. 3. past tense of "drain": to remove liquid gradually or completely.
The word "drain" originates from Old English "drēahnian," meaning "to strain or filter," derived from Proto-Germanic "*draugną" (to dry). The suffix "-ed" marks the past participle, indicating a completed action or state. Over time, "drained" evolved to describe both physical depletion (e.g., liquid removal) and metaphorical exhaustion (e.g., energy loss), reflecting the logic of something being "emptied out."
