短释义：
When you go through an ordeal you have to deal with something tough. Waiting for someone you love to recover from an injury and come home from the hospital is an ordeal — for both of you — and being a victim of a crime is a different kind of ordeal. You can use this noun in an exaggerated way, too, as when you endure the long ordeal of cleaning the garage on a sunny weekend.
磨难是困难或痛苦的事情。像参加测试一样困难的事情可能是一场磨难，但通常是一场严重而持久的事件，例如疾病或悲剧。

词源：
ordeal (n.)Old English ordel, ordal, “trial by physical test,” literally “judgment, verdict,” from Proto-Germanic noun *uz-dailjam “a portioning out, judgment” (source also of Old Saxon urdeli, Old Frisian urdel, Dutch oordeel, German urteil “judgment”), literally “that which is dealt out” (by the gods), from *uzdailijan “to share out,” related to Old English adælan “to deal out,” from *uz‑ “out” + PIE *dail- “to divide,” Northern Indo-European extended form of root *da- “to divide.” It is rare in Middle English, and perhaps the modern word is a 16c. reborrowing from Medieval Latin or French, both of which got it from Germanic.
The notion is of the kind of arduous physical test (such as walking blindfolded and barefoot between red-hot plowshares) that was believed to determine a person’s guilt or innocence by immediate judgment of the deity, an ancient Teutonic mode of trial. They were abolished in England in the reign of Henry III. English retains a more exact sense of the word; its cognates in German, etc., have been generalized as “judicial decision.”
Metaphoric extension to “severe trial, test of courage or patience, anything which tests character or endurance” is attested from 1650s. The prefix or- survives in English only in this word, but was common in Old English and other Germanic languages (Gothic ur-, Old Norse or-, etc.) and originally was an adverb and preposition meaning “out.”Related entries & more
下面是词源的翻译（机器翻译比较难翻，参考着看）
折磨（n。）古老的英语Orstel，Ordal，“通过物理测试的试验”，从字面上看“判断，判决”，来自原始人名词 *uz-dailjam，“分类，判断”（也是旧撒克逊乌尔德利的来源Frisian Urdel，荷兰oordeel，德国乌尔蒂尔“审判”），字面上是“被众神的东西”，来自 *uzdailijan “分享”与古英语adælan有关的“分享”，“从 *uz-” out“ of” + pie *dail-“分裂”，“ 北印度 – 欧洲 – 欧洲的扩展形式的root *da-”。它在中英语中很少见，也许现代单词是16c。从中世纪的拉丁或法语中求发，这两者都从日耳曼语中得到。该概念是一种艰苦的体育测试（例如，在红热的耕地之间蒙住眼睛蒙住眼睛和赤脚行走），被认为可以通过立即判断神灵（一种古老的条顿人的审判方式）来确定一个人的内gui或无罪。他们在亨利三世统治时期在英格兰废除。英语保留了对这个词的更精确的感觉。它在德语等中的认知已被普遍为“司法决定”。从1650年代证明了“严重试验，勇气或耐心的测试，测试特征或耐力的任何东西”的隐喻扩展。前缀或仅在英语中生存，但在古老的英语和其他日耳曼语中很常见（哥特式的ur-，旧北欧orse or-等），最初是副词和介词，意思是“出来”。相关条目＆更多的
