perfervidadj.

Brit. /pəːˈfəːvɪd/, /pəˈfəːvɪd/, U.S. /ˌpərˈfərvɪd/
Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin perfervidus.
Etymology: < post-classical Latin perfervidus (chiefly in the phrase perfervidum ingenium Scotorum the impassioned genius of the Scots, founded on G. Buchanan's Scotorum praefervida ingenia ( Rerum Scoticarum Historia (1582) xvi. li.)) < classical Latin per- per- prefix + fervidus fervid adj. Compare earlier praefervid adj.Perfervidus, though quite regular in form, is not recorded in classical Latin; an instance of perfervida formerly cited from Columella 5. 5. 1 represents the reading of Gesner ( Scriptores Rei Rusticae I. (1735)); the reading praefervida, proposed by Schneider ( Scriptores Rei Rusticae III. (1829)), is probably to be preferred.
Very fervid; ardent, impassioned.
