rabia

rage

noun RRAH-byah Rare
Mind & Emotions Emotions

Origin: From Latin rabies, 'madness, fury'.

Also means

rabies

Usage Note

Rabia covers both intense anger ('rage, fury') and the disease rabies — context always disambiguates. The idiom me da rabia means 'it makes me furious.' A dog described as con rabia has the disease, not just a bad temper, so precision matters.

Examples

"Sentía una rabia enorme."

Natural Translation

She felt an enormous rage.
