Lemma: θυμωμένος
Translation: angry; mad; furious; upset; annoyed (adjective)
Etymology: Derived from the ancient Greek verb 'θυμόω' (to anger, to make angry), which comes from 'θυμός' (thymos) meaning spirit, soul, or passion. The word 'thymos' is cognate with English 'fume' (from Latin fumus, smoke) through the Indo-European root meaning 'to smoke' or 'to be agitated.' In ancient Greek philosophy, thymos represented the spirited part of the soul associated with emotions and courage. The participial form θυμωμένος literally means 'having been angered' or 'in a state of anger.'
