rage

English rage comes from Middle English rage, borrowed from Anglo-Norman rage, from Late Latin rabia, itself from Classical Latin rabiēs, meaning anger or fury.

The word arrived in Middle English already carrying its sense of fierce anger, passed along largely unchanged in meaning from its Latin root through French.

Rage is a doublet of rabies — both descend from the same Latin rabiēs, one word staying close to disease, the other drifting toward emotion.
