Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the Latin verb 'infuriatus', the past participle of 'infuriare', meaning 'to madden or fill with fury', formed from the prefix 'in-' (into) and 'furia' (fury). It entered the English language in the early 17th century, shifting from its early literal sense of driving someone mad to its modern psychological meaning of provoking extreme anger.
