raging anger
Today this word meansAnger fierce enough to lose one's reason.
In Rome, the goddesses of vengeance were called the Furiae.
Latin furia was also a common noun meaning "raging frenzy" — the goddesses were that emotion, given a name.
Worth noting
The word did not come from the goddesses' name; rather, the same word also served as the name of gods.
