The etymology of "fuming" relates to the release of smoke or vapor as a manifestation of strong emotion. In the 14th century, "fumen" in Middle English referred to the physical act of emitting smoke or fumes, often associated with anger.
Over time, the term evolved to encompass the metaphorical sense of expressing intense anger or annoyance. The idea of "fuming" as a way to express anger can be traced back to ancient cultures, where smoke and fire were symbols of both anger and purification.
In the 16th century, William Shakespeare used "fume" in his play "The Tempest" to depict Prospero's anger at his brother Antonio: "Thy ashy forehead soils a fire / And smoke from hell cannot appease or mend / The doom that awaits you."
"Fuming" has since become a widely recognized expression of intense anger or annoyance, indicating the release of pent-up emotions through a metaphorical "outpouring of fumes." It is often used to describe a state of extreme frustration, irritation, or rage.
