angr
Comes from Old Norse 'angr' and Proto-Germanic '*angriz', meaning 'grief, sorrow, or distress'. It evolved into Old English 'angor' and Middle English 'anger', carrying the core sense of painful emotional tension that readily escalates to fury. Examples include anger, angry, angrily, anguish (via Latin 'angustia', sharing the same Proto-Indo-European root *angh- 'to squeeze, choke, distress').
