aroused
Made to feel
Aroused means stirred up or awakened—brought from a dormant state to an active one.
Curiosity can be aroused, as can suspicion, anger, or interest: The strange noise aroused her curiosity.
Without further context, aroused often implies sexual excitement: He was visibly aroused.
The past participle works as both verb and adjective.
