Usage Note

Esagitato describes someone in a state of extreme agitation or excitability — stronger than agitato (agitated) or nervoso (nervous), it implies someone who is overwrought or frenzied. It is often used to describe an excitable character as a personality trait rather than a momentary state: è un tipo esagitato (he's a highly strung type).
