What does ANGER mean in Scrabble?
noun
An intense emotional reaction to being wronged, insulted, or frustrated, ranging from mild irritation to outright rage.
Anger can build slowly over an ongoing problem or flare up suddenly after a single remark, and the same word works as a verb for what caused the feeling in the first place, as in the announcement angered nearly everyone in the room. A whole scale of related words describes different levels of the same basic feeling, from mild irritation up to full rage, with anger usually sitting somewhere in the middle of that scale. Many religious and philosophical traditions treat anger as something to manage rather than eliminate entirely, since a measured amount of it can be a reasonable response to genuine unfairness. Therapists often separate healthy anger, expressed and then released, from anger that stays suppressed for years and affects health and well-being long afterward.
