apoplectic 大怒的

apoplexy的形容词，指气的发疯，气的中风。字母x结尾的拉丁名称变形容词时改x为ct, 同climactic，高潮的。

apoplectic (adj.): 1610s, "involving apoplexy," from French apoplectique (16c.), from Latin apoplecticus, from Greek apoplektikos "disabled by a stroke, crippled, struck dumb," from apoplektos, verbal adjective of apoplessein (see apoplexy). Meaning "showing symptoms of apoplexy" (1721) gradually shaded into "enraged, very angry."

1、apo- "off; 这里off取其引申义：进入迷糊状态，失掉(意识)；off本来就具有这层引申义" + plect- + -ic.2、字面含义：因为hit,strike而失去意识，而进入迷糊状态，而不能活动。由此，引申为：中风。3、注意与cataplexy对比。

3. He became apoplectic about wasteful government spending.: 他对于政府的浪费开销变得怒不可遏.
