What is the origin of the adjective “peaked” (pronounced “pea-ked”), meaning “tired” in American English?

I was watching the movie “In the Line of Fire” (1993) with Clint Eastwood and Rene Russo. In one of the scenes, Russo tells Eastwood “you were looking a little pea-ked.” This means fatigued/physically overwhelmed.

I’ve seen the opposite and found some other uses for “north American” in search engines, but it’s not true. In what order was the word “caffeine” originally pronounced?

What does it mean of my post is “Wait, go, buy,” on Wikipedia
