outrage
Meaning
To outrage is to provoke a strong emotional response of indignation or anger, often resulting from perceived injustice or violation of moral standards; it encompasses both the act of causing such feelings in others and the state of being affected by them.
💡 While "outrage" can be used in both a transitive and intransitive sense, it is important to distinguish between the act of causing outrage and the emotional state itself; misuse often occurs when the term is applied too broadly to minor grievances.
