Wrath

Etymology

From Old English "wrǣððu," from "wrāð" (angry, wroth), which is related to "writhe" (to twist). The buried image is of being twisted or contorted — rage as a wrenching of the self.

noun · /RATH/
Intense, often vengeful anger.
What it names
Anger at its most towering and righteous — the storm, not the irritation.
Example
The editorial brought down the full wrath of an industry that did not like being named.
