Etymology
Triggered comes from trigger, the small part of a gun you pull to make it fire. A helpful way to remember it is that to 'trigger' something means 'to set off' or start it, so feeling triggered means a thing or memory has started a strong emotional reaction, often a reminder of a past bad experience.
