To make delirious; to cause someone to become mentally confused or to speak incoherently.
From Latin 'delirare' with the English suffix '-ate' forming a transitive verb, a back-formation or variant used in medical contexts to indicate the action of inducing delirium.
This verb is extremely rare, suggesting that by the time English needed precise language for 'causing delirium,' it was more efficient to use phrases like 'to drive mad' rather than create new Latin-based medical verbs.
