What does MADDEN mean in Scrabble?
verb
To make someone very angry or exasperated, or in older use to drive them out of their wits.
The verb is built on the old adjective mad, and it first meant to send someone crazy, a sense that survives in poetry. Today it mostly describes a slow, grinding irritation, such as a dripping tap or a delayed train, rather than a sudden rage. Its common adjective form maddening is far more frequent than the verb itself.
