Etymology
First attested in 1667; borrowed from Medieval Latin infuriātus (“enraged”), perfect passive participle of infuriō (“to enrage”) (see -ate (verb-forming suffix)), from Latin furia (“rage, fury, frenzy”); perhaps via Italian infuriato.
adj
- Filled with, characterized by or expressing fury.“These [materials] in thir dark Nativitie the Deep
Shall yeild us, pregnant with infernal flame,
Which into hallow Engins long and round
Thick-rammd, at th’ other bore with touch of fire
Dilated and infuriate shall send forth
From far with thundring noise among our foes
Such implements of mischief as shall dash
To pieces, and orewhelm whatever stands
Adverse,”
verb
- To make furious or mad with anger; to fill with fury.“What graceles fears, strange hates, may Nations so affright,
Infuriate so; gainst God with mad attempts to fight?”
