Etymology
1. 1667, from It. infuriato, from M.L. infuriatus, pp. of infuriare "to madden," from L. in furia "in a fury," from abl. of furia (see fury).
2. 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.
