    1: to annoy especially by petty provocation : irk

    2: to intrude upon : pester

    3: to cause to be somewhat anxious or concerned —often used interjectionally

    Origin: circa 1745 ;

     Of obscure origin ;

      * Note : Early attestations strongly associate the word with Ireland, though if bother is authentically Hiberno-English, the interdental consonant must be secondary, perhaps by association with earlier {pother:1|pother:1}, itself of obscure origin. A hypothetical link with Irish bodhar "deaf, confused" is improbable given that the internal dental consonant in Irish was lost by 1300.;
