Etymology

The word 'anger' originates from the Old Norse word 'angr,' which means distress or grief. Its root can be traced back to Proto-Germanic *angwō, which means constriction or tightness, reflecting the emotional and physical sensations associated with feeling angry. The verb 'anger' emerged in the English language in the late 14th century. The addition of the suffix '-ing' converts the action into a present participle, indicating an ongoing process. As societal structures and human interactions evolved, so did the understanding and expression of anger, leading to its current use in both common and legal language.
