Etymology

The word 'flurried' originates from the verb 'flurry,' which dates back to the early 17th century. The term 'flurry' initially described a sudden gust of wind or snow, reflecting a sense of movement and disorder. Over time, the meaning evolved to represent a state of disturbance or excitement, particularly in emotional contexts. The suffix '-ed' indicates that it is in the past or has been acted upon, suggesting a reaction to a fleeting or unexpected circumstance. The term has been widely used in literature to describe characters reacting to chaotic situations, amplifying its association with feelings of confusion or anxiety.
