Furiousity

/fjʊriˈɑsɪti/ noun

Definition

A variant of 'curiosity' humorous by sound similarity, or used facetiously; extreme furious passion or rage.

Etymology

A playful blend of 'furious' + '-osity' (like curiosity), or possibly influenced by 'curiosity.' This mainly appears in creative or humorous contexts rather than standard English.

Kelly Says

This word is born from accidental soundplay—it genuinely sounds like it could mean 'the quality of being furiously curious' which is exactly what many people feel when something makes them angry and confused simultaneously.
