Usage Note

Enrager can be transitive (ça m'enrage — it infuriates me) or intransitive, meaning to be seething with rage. The expression faire enrager quelqu'un means to deliberately wind someone up or drive them mad — a common colloquial use. Note the spelling: it keeps the e before -ons (nous enrageons) to preserve the soft g sound.
