Just wondering what people think "worked up" means... I hear it used all sorts of ways, often without clarification of what emotion we're talking about.

upset (v.)
c.1440, "to set up, fix," from up + set (v.). Cf. M.Du. opsetten, Ger. aufsetzen. Modern sense of "overturn, capsize" (1803) is that of obsolete overset. Meaning "to throw into mental discomposure" is from 1805. The noun sense of "overturning of a vehicle or boat" is recorded from 1804.
Hmm, but wouldn't an unspecified "upset" be the same as option 3: "full of X emotion" (unknown)? ...since we don't know what "upset" means, until the context is explained.
