My comment was meant in a general sense that harmless words can make people cringe. I suppose, though, that if a word conjures up a painful memory for someone, it's understandable that it would make them cringe hearing it again.

hello Sir

hello DIC friends

hope everyone's doing well

certain words just have sounds, that are unpleasant or just sound right or wrong to the ear.  i think that @MacGreg Sir posted something about words like that earlier this year

noisome Audio pronunciation

 
adjective | NOY-sum  
 
Definition
 
:
2
:
offensive to the senses and especially to the sense of smell
 
 
:
highly obnoxious or objectionable

 

 

Noisome sounds like it might be a synonym of noisy, but it's not. Something noisome is disgusting, offensive, or harmful, often in its smell. Noisome does not come from noise, but from the Middle English word noysome, which has the same meaning as noisome. Noysome was formed by combining the noun noy, which means "annoyance," with the adjectival suffix -some ("characterized by a (specified) thing, quality, state, or action"). Noy comes from Anglo-French anui, which also means "annoyance." As you may have already guessed, the English words annoy and annoyance are also related to noisome.
