What upset means
A state of emotional disturbance or unhappiness caused by something disappointing or unfavorable, or to disturb someone's emotional calm or knock something over.
Where the word comes from
From up and set, originally a verb phrase meaning "to set up" or "overturn." By the late 1600s, it developed the sense of "to disturb" or "make uneasy." The noun meaning "a defeat" or "disturbance" emerged in the 1800s, particularly in sports contexts. The adjective describing an emotional state followed naturally from the verb's figurative sense of being thrown off balance.
