sapped
Completely worn out
Sapped means drained of energy, strength, or vitality.
The word comes from the military practice of digging trenches (saps) to undermine fortifications—a slow, exhausting process that weakens defenses.
Something that saps you gradually depletes your resources: The humidity sapped my will to move.
A person who feels sapped is worn out, often from prolonged strain rather than sudden exertion.
