Irritate \Ir"ri*tate\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. {Irritated}; p. pr. &
   vb. n. {Irritating}.] [L. irritatus, p. p. of irritare. Of
   doubtful origin.]
   1. To increase the action or violence of; to heighten
      excitement in; to intensify; to stimulate.

            Cold maketh the spirits vigorous and irritateth
            them.                                 --Bacon.

   2. To excite anger or displeasure in; to provoke; to tease;
      to exasperate; to annoy; to vex; as, the insolence of a
      tyrant irritates his subjects.

            Dismiss the man, nor irritate the god: Prevent the
            rage of him who reigns above.         --Pope.

   3. (Physiol.) To produce irritation in; to stimulate; to

   Syn: To fret; inflame; excite; provoke; tease; vex;

   Usage: To {Irritate}, {Provoke}, {Exasperate}. These words
          express different stages of excited or angry feeling.
          Irritate denotes an excitement of quick and slightly
          angry feeling which is only momentary; as, irritated
          by a hasty remark. To provoke implies the awakening of
          some open expression of decided anger; as, a provoking
          insult. Exasperate denotes a provoking of anger at
          something unendurable. Whatever comes across our
          feelings irritates; whatever excites anger provokes;
          whatever raises anger to a high point exasperates.
          ``Susceptible and nervous people are most easily
          irritated; proud people are quickly provoked; hot and
          fiery people are soonest exasperated.'' --Crabb.
