What's the difference between excitation and fever?

Excitation


Definition:

  • (n.) The act of exciting or putting in motion; the act of rousing up or awakening.
  • (n.) The act of producing excitement (stimulation); also, the excitement produced.

Example Sentences:

Fever


Definition:

  • (n.) A diseased state of the system, marked by increased heat, acceleration of the pulse, and a general derangement of the functions, including usually, thirst and loss of appetite. Many diseases, of which fever is the most prominent symptom, are denominated fevers; as, typhoid fever; yellow fever.
  • (n.) Excessive excitement of the passions in consequence of strong emotion; a condition of great excitement; as, this quarrel has set my blood in a fever.
