Etymology

The term 'wigged out' originated in American slang, particularly within youth culture, during the late 20th century. The word 'wig' itself has a longer history, deriving from the Middle English word 'wigge,' which referred to a hairpiece worn to cover a bald head. The transformation of 'wig' into a verb meaning to lose control or become agitated reflects a playful linguistic evolution. The phrase gained popularity in the 1980s and 1990s, especially among teenagers and young adults, and has since permeated various aspects of popular culture, including music, television, and social media. Today, 'wigged out' is commonly used to describe moments of panic, overreaction, or intense emotional responses.
