Etymology

The verb **enfer** is a recent verbalisation of the noun *enfer* (“hell”), which comes from Old French *enfer* from Latin *infernum* (the neuter of *inferus*, “lower, below”). In modern French it is used figuratively to mean “to cause great confusion or disorder,” likening a situation to a hellish state. This noun‑to‑verb formation dates from the 19th century, reflecting a broader trend of turning everyday nouns into verbs.
