Jaded means tired of something through having had too much of it. A jaded palate, jaded and cynical, feel jaded.
It is exhaustion by surfeit rather than by work, which is the useful distinction: a jaded critic has seen too many plays, not too few. The word comes from jade, an old term for a worn-out horse, and has nothing to do with the green stone.
