Driven crazy by the English (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

made

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'driven' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'crazy by the english' is the wordplay.
'crazy' becomes 'mad' (synonyms).
'by' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'the english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'mad'+'e'='MADE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for made that I've seen before include "Manufactured" , "Built" , "Created" , "Produced" , "One renovating (painting)" .)
