Thanks for all the explanations, but the fact is that even looking up TIRE and seeing both definitions


Main Entry: 1tire
Pronunciation: 'tIr
Function: verb
Inflected Form(s): tired; tir·ing

intransitive senses : to become weary

transitive senses
1 : to exhaust or greatly decrease the physical strength of : FATIGUE
2 : to wear out the patience of : BORE

****************************

I can´t find anywhere an example using the preposition FROM. If anyone knows where to find it, I would appreciate it!

There may not be a definition of "tire from". In that use, "was tired from" the verb is in the passive voice and "from" is just a normal preposition.
