WRATH

What wrath means

Intense anger that is often expressed in a destructive or vengeful way, especially when someone feels deeply wronged or disrespected.

Where the word comes from

Wrath comes from Old English wræthu, meaning anger or violence. This derives from the Proto-Germanic wrait-, related to the verb "to twist" or "writhe," suggesting anger as something that contorts or agitates the body. The term is connected to Old Norse reiðr (angry) and German Wut (rage), all sharing roots in the same Germanic family of words denoting violent emotional disturbance.
