The phrase ‘surge of adrenaline‘ is commonly used to describe a sudden increase in the hormone adrenaline (also known as epinephrine) in response to stress or excitement. The term ‘surge‘ originates from the Latin word ‘surgere,‘ meaning ‘to rise,‘ which moved into Middle English as ‘surgen.‘ ‘Adrenaline‘ comes from the Latin ‘ad‘ (meaning ‘to‘ or ‘toward‘) and ‘renes‘ (meaning ‘kidneys‘), referring to its production by the adrenal glands. The combination of these terms in the phrase captures the concept of a swift and powerful release of adrenaline in the body.
