et•y•mol•o•gy:
Latin verb trepaliare:
to torture; it derived from trepalium, a name for an instrument of torture.
Trepaliare developed into medieval French travailler:
to torture; to suffer or labor.
Middle English transformed the French term into travailed:
to torture, to suffer or labor; getting from place to place in the Middle Ages had been an exhausting effort, so medieval speakers of English applied travailed to making a trip.
