Etymology

The word 'rampage' comes from the French word 'rampage', which means 'to run or stomp about'. It was adopted into English in the late 19th century, primarily in the context of mobs and rioting. The term initially conveyed a sense of wild, unrestrained movement often accompanied by violence or disruption. Over time, its usage expanded to include a more generalized description of chaotic or uncontrolled behavior. The evolution reflects the word's adaptability to various contexts, from natural disasters (e.g., rampaging storms) to social upheavals (e.g., rampaging crowds). Today, 'rampage' conveys the idea of loss of control in both literal and figurative senses.
