The Literal Meaning of ﴿سعر﴾:
﴿سُعُر﴾ ﴿سعر﴾ means the blazing of fire and the bursting forth of flames. Then, this word is figuratively used in the sense of provoking or becoming provoked. And ﴿سعر﴾ refers to such madness that a person, upon something, immediately becomes provoked and starts doing wrong actions, and his intellect does not function properly. That is, the condition of these criminals has become such that, before even reflecting on any word of guidance, they flare up instantly.
