irate
UK: aɪˈreɪt | US: aɪˈreɪt
adj. feeling or characterized by intense anger
The word irate stems directly from Latin iratus, the past participle of irasci ("to be angry"). The root ira (anger) is preserved in English words like ire (anger) and irascible (easily angered). The suffix -ate was adopted into English to form adjectives, often indicating a state or quality. Thus, irate logically evolved to mean "filled with anger," retaining its Latin core while adapting to English morphology.
