Origin
From Middle English outrage, from Old French outrage, oultrage (“excess”), from Vulgar LatFrom Middle English outrage, from Old French outrage, oultrage (“excess”), from Vulgar Latin *ultrāticum ("a going beyond"), derived from Latin ultrā (“beyond”). Later reanalysed as out- + rage, whence the contemporary pronunciation, though neither of these are etymologically related.
