Etymology of APOPLEXED

The word "apoplexed" is a derivative of the noun "apoplexy", which originated in the late 14th century. The term "apoplexy" is derived from the Middle English word "apoplexie" or "apoplexia", which is borrowed from the Old French "apoplexie". This Old French term, in turn, came from the Late Latin word "apoplexia", and ultimately stems from the Greek word "apoplēxia" meaning "a seizure". The Greek term is a combination of "apo" (meaning "away from" or "off") and "plēxis" (meaning "a stroke" or "a blow"), referring to a sudden loss of consciousness or the effects of a stroke. Over time, the adjective "apoplexed" was derived from "apoplexy" to describe the state or condition of being affected by or experiencing apoplexy.
