Etymonline
Word Origin & History
nauseate
1640, "to feel sick, to become affected with nausea," from pp. stem of L. nauseare, see nausea. In its early life it also had transitive senses of "to reject (food, etc.) with a feeling of nausea" (1646) and "to create a loathing in" (1654). Careful writers use nauseated
EXPANDfor "sick at the stomach" and reserve nauseous (q.v.) for "sickening to contemplate."
