About This Root
From Latin haurīre (to draw out, drain), past participle haustum. In English it appears almost exclusively through exhaust and its derivatives (exhausted, exhausting, exhaustion, exhaustive). The prefix ex- (out) + haust (draw) gives the sense of completely draining — whether energy, resources, or possibilities.
