Word origin

The word 'maddened' is the past participle of the verb 'madden,' which traces its origins back to the Old English word 'gemรฆdenian', meaning 'to cause to be mad or furious'. The essence of the term is connected to the broader English word 'mad', which has evolved over centuries. Originally, 'mad' used to describe someone who is insane or mentally ill, which in the medieval context often implied severe emotional disturbances. As language evolved, the term began to encompass a more generalized expression of extreme anger or frustration, especially in the context of someone being driven to 'madness' by external forces such as provocation or injustice. Today, 'maddened' captures both the notion of emotional turmoil and the behavioral manifestations that may accompany it, reflecting a state where reason is overshadowed by intense feelings.
