TRIGGED Meaning and Definition

  1. "Trigged" is a colloquial term that originated from the word "triggered." It is primarily used in informal or internet slang to describe a strong emotional reaction, typically negative, towards a specific topic, event, remark, or situation. It refers to a state of being provoked or incited, often resulting in intense anger, frustration, or offense.

    The term "trigged" gained popularity through its frequent usage in online discussions, particularly on social media platforms. It is commonly employed to describe instances when someone feels strongly triggered or deeply affected by a certain stimulus, causing an immediate and often extreme emotional response. This reaction can manifest in various ways, such as lashing out, becoming defensive, or expressing indignation.

    While "trigged" initially evolved within online communities, it has also entered everyday language, often serving as a light-hearted expression to signify an exaggerated reaction to something that may be seen as insignificant or trivial. It is important to note that the term is context-dependent and can have different connotations depending on the situation and the individuals involved.

    In recent years, "trigged" has taken on a humorous undertone among certain groups, where it is used self-referentially to acknowledge and playfully mock hypersensitivity or overreactions. Nonetheless, it is essential to exercise sensitivity and respect when using this term, as it can also trivialize genuine concerns or dismiss legitimate emotional responses in some cases.

Etymology of TRIGGED

The word "trigged" is derived from the word "trigger". The term "trigger" originally came from Middle English, as a verb form of "trigour" or "triggar", which meant to draw or pull. It is believed to have come from the Old Norse word "tryggr", meaning firm or secure. Over time, the word "trigger" evolved to refer to the mechanism on a firearm that enables the release of a shot by pulling it. In modern usage, "trigger" has also developed a figurative meaning associated with causing a strong emotional response or initiating a particular action. The term "trigged" is a back-formation from "triggered", where the suffix "-ed" has been removed to create a new verb form.
