Embarrassed for you. Rowling speaks French. In French, énerver can mean to excite or to agitate.

Like I think the worst thing for JK Rowling was buying into her own hype Nobody "fact-checks" her about the folklore and mythology etc, if she gets edited at all anymore it's just for spelling and grammar (and not even that, when she's doing her horrendous eye-dialect)
-
She says that she's an extremely erudite and scholarly person with all this knowledge from all these different cultures, and she isn't, but everyone she works with just accepts that she is and lets her do whatever she wants Hence all these preventable blowups happening

Yeah - and I might even give a lot of this to the proofreaders, rather than Joanne directly; among the various other weird language quirks, it's probably the one that's most a simple, common misuse. But the important thing is that it's still wrong, not a deep secret.

It's somehow turned into a covfefe, where even the most obvious typos or usage errors get transmuted into a hidden message for the truly loyal.
