weary
Ready for rest
Weary means exhausted or drained of energy, whether physical or mental.
You might be weary after a long hike or weary of constant demands on your attention.
The word suggests a deeper fatigue than simply tired—often tinged with resignation: She grew weary of his excuses.
As a verb, to weary is to make or become tired: The endless meetings wearied everyone.
