The word comes from the Latin verb *farcire*, meaning 'to stuff' or 'to fill.' This original meaning evolved into the Spanish verb *hartar* (to fill). The adjective 'harta' is simply the past participle used to describe someone who is 'filled up,' which then figuratively extended to mean 'filled up with annoyance' or 'fed up.'

First recorded: 13th century

Frequently Asked Questions

How can 'harta' mean both 'full' and 'fed up'?

These two meanings come from the same root idea of 'filling.' Being 'harta' literally means being filled up (with food). Figuratively, when you are 'harta de' something, you are 'filled up' with that annoyance, reaching your limit of patience.

Is 'harta' the same as 'llena'?

They are similar when talking about being full after eating, but 'llena' (full) is used more generally for containers or spaces (a full glass, a full room). 'Harta' is almost exclusively used for people being full from food, or more commonly, being fed up.
