DAILY PHOTO: Incensed at Wat Phnom

Taken October 2012 at Wat Phnom in Phnom Penh.

How come the noun “incense” means ”a substance that releases a strong fragrance when burned,” but in its adjectival or verbal form it means to be, or make someone, extremely angry.

It’s not a rhetorical question, people. If you’ve got an answer, let me know.
