Origin

Old English teran, of Germanic origin; related to Dutch teren and German zehren, from an Indo-European root shared by Greek derein 'flay'. The noun dates from the early 17th century.

The word tear meaning ‘to pull apart’ is found in Old English. To tear someone off a strip, or rebuke them angrily as if by pulling off a strip of their skin, was originally RAF slang, and is recorded from the 1940s. The tear that you shed in distress is a different word, still Old English. The expression without tears, for learning, first appears in the title of a book for children published in 1857 Reading without Tears or, A pleasant method of learning to read. Terence Rattigan borrowed the phrase for the title of his 1937 play French Without Tears. The person whose works were first called tearjerkers, in 1921, was James Whitcomb Riley, a US writer known for sentimental poems such as ‘Little Orphan Annie’. See also crocodile
