((sb.)) to anger sb. His loud music angers the neighbors.

Synonyms: to annoy, to irritate; Antonyms: to please, to calm

Comes from the prefix 'ver-' (indicating a change of state) + 'Ärger' (anger). Literally 'to put into a state of anger'.

Think of 'ver-' as 'making' something happen. So, 'ver-' + 'Ärger' (anger) = to make angry.
