Root Explanation
The word 'wigged' originates from the slang term 'wig', which is derived from the word 'periwig' (from Middle French *perruque*, meaning a wig or hairpiece). The suffix '-ed' indicates a past tense or completed action. Therefore, 'wigged' refers to the act of wearing a wig or being in a state associated with wigs, often implying a sense of surprise or agitation.
Memory Tip
Think of someone who has put on a 'wig' and is now in a state of surprise or agitation — that's what 'wigged' means.
