† aˈgramed, agremed, agromed, pa. pple. Obs.
[The only part found of vb. agrame, agreme, agrome, coinciding in form and sense with OFr. agramir, agremir (also engr-) chiefly used in pa. pple. agrami, etc.; f. à to (or en in) + gram adj. (Pr. gram, It. gramo) a. OHG. gram, angry. But OE. had also gram adj. and gremian, gremman vb., to enrage, ME. gremien, greme, whence a-gremed might have been formed with a- prefix 1, independently of Fr. (cf. OHG. ergremen). The special influence of OFr. agrami seems clear in the form agramed, but see grame, greme.]
Angered, vexed, enraged.
