Goated has become a morphed form of the word goaded. Initially if someone was very aggressive or on the offensive you would say they were goaded and this meant that they were fueled by anger for success. After the acronym G.O.A.T "greatest of all time" people who were unfamiliar with the word goaded assumed it was "goated".
Man...Tarynce played like a man possessed! He was super goated that game after the bad calls from the refs. (they should have used the word goaded but failed to understand that goated wasn't really a word...but now because of common usage it is)
