The word ''''torture'''' comes from the French ''torture'', originating in the Late [[Latin]] ''tortura'' and ultimately deriving the past participle of ''torquere'' meaning 'to twist'.(Merriam-Webster's collegiate dictionary, 10th Edition ISBN 0877797137) The word may be used loosely for more ordinary or daily discomforts which would be described as tedious rather than painful.
