Characterized by or causing high fever; having the quality of producing feverish symptoms.
From Latin 'febris' (fever) plus '-citant' (from 'citare,' meaning 'to move' or 'excite'), describing something that excites or produces feverish reactions.
This word is so rare it barely appears in medical literature anymore, but it's fascinating how medieval physicians piled on Latin morphemes to create super-specific descriptors for different fever qualities.
