To exhaust by overdriving or long-continued labor of any kind; to tire, make dull, or wear out by severe or tedious tasks; to harass. [1913 Webster] The mind, once jaded by an attempt above its power, . . . checks at any vigorous undertaking ever after. --Locke. Syn: To fatigue; tire; weary; harass. Usage: To Jade, Fatigue, Tire, Weary.

A little exertion will tire a child or a weak person; a severe or protracted task wearies equally the body and the mind; the most powerful horse becomes jaded on a long journey by a continual straining of the same muscles.
