The word ‘outrage’ consists of neither ‘out’ nor ‘rage’. Instead, it comes from an Old French word for “excess”. ‘Outrage’ used to be pronounced /outridge/, just like ‘garbage’ is /garbidge/, but it was influenced by the unrelated word ‘rage’. Zoom in on my new graphic to learn all about it:

"It is in mearke dat se yn Fryslân opkomme foar it Frysk" - wy meitsje ús sels noch åltyd fierstente lyts. Bijna alle Friezen schakelen anno nu nog altijd over op het Nederlands terwijl dat helemaal niet hoeft - bijna iedereen (95%) in Friesland verstaat de taal gewoon. #frysk #taal #trouw
