Start with a body running a temperature: hot skin, restless hands, nothing quite settling. That is the whole of fevered in its plain sense, and every other use is that same heat put somewhere else. Move it onto a mood and you get a crowd or a conversation running too hot to hold still. Move it onto thinking and you get a head that produces things nobody else can see. One picture, three places to put it.
From the word’s history
The supplied Wiktionary entry gives the formation plainly: fever plus the ending -ed, meaning marked by or carrying a fever. That is why the physical sense sits at the centre; the other uses are the same word pointed at a mood or a mind.
資料裡的 Wiktionary 條目把組成講得很清楚：fever 加上字尾 -ed，意思是「帶著發燒的」。所以身體的意思坐在中間。另外兩個用法是同一個字，只是指向情緒或腦袋。
