Talking about being "tired", the phrase お疲れ様でした (otsukaresama deshita) is commonly used to express "thanks for the hard work" and it's a catch-all greeting for coworkers now, but it literally means something like "o tired one" and the character 疲 still means tired.

You can look it up, it's in online dictionaries.

gochisou: "feast"

sama: honorific

deshita: past conjugation of "desu", meaning "is"; thus, "was"

In other words, "[that] was a feast".

語源は、食事の準備のために駆け回ることを意味する「馳走(ちそう)」という言葉にあります。そこに、敬意を表す接頭語の「ご」と接尾語の「様」が結びつき、「ご馳走様(ごちそうさま)」という表現になりました。現在では、食事を用意してくれた人や、ごちそうしてくれた人に対するお礼の言葉として広く使われています。
