My wife started using the word this way about 20 years ago, I also heard it on TV ads at the time.
I always assumed it was a confused fusion of "wary" and "leery".
- nerdponx 2y agoI always assumed it was just a misspelling of "wary" by analogy to "wear". You're telling me that people actually say "weary" when they mean "wary"? That's very different from what I thought.
- blacksqr 2y ago> people actually say "weary" when they mean "wary"? Yes, that's my experience.
