INCENSES Meaning and Definition

1. Incenses is a verb that refers to the act of causing strong feelings of anger, annoyance, or irritation in someone. It is derived from the word "incense," which is a noun that traditionally refers to a substance that produces a fragrant or pleasant odor when burned, often used for religious or spiritual purposes. However, in its verb form, "incenses" takes on a more negative connotation.

   When someone incenses another individual, they deliberately provoke or instigate strong negative emotions within them. This can be done through words, actions, or behavior intended to be deliberately offensive, disrespectful, or hurtful. The purpose behind incensing someone is often to deliberately upset, frustrate, or provoke a reaction from them.

   The act of incensing someone is generally accompanied by intense feelings of anger, irritation, or annoyance on the part of the person being targeted. The actions or words that trigger these emotions may be perceived as disrespectful, offensive, or harmful, thereby leading to an emotional response from the targeted individual.

   In a broader context, incenses can also refer to situations or events that generate general discontent, anger, or frustration within a group of people. This is typically seen when societal or political issues incense a large segment of the population, leading to protests, demonstrations, or even acts of civil disobedience.
