From Middle High German beswæren (“to afflict, to depress, to annoy”), a merger from Old High German biswāren (“to depress, to burden”) (10th c.), from Proto-West Germanic *biswârijan; and Old High German biswārōn (“to burden”) (10th c.), from Proto-West Germanic *biswārōn. Related to swāren (“heavy”) (8th c.) whence schwer. The reflexive sense developed later in the 14th century from "to burden oneself", "to fret" to "to complain about something worrisome, burdensome".[1] Cognate with Dutch bezwaren.
