outrage
English
Etymology
From Middle English outrage, from Old French outrage, oultrage (“excess”), from Late Latin *ultr?gium, *ultr?ticum ("a going beyond"), derived from Latin ultr? (“beyond”). Later reanalysed as out- +? rage, whence the contemporary pronunciation, though neither of these is etymologically related.
The verb is from Middle English outragen, from Old French oultragier.
