fury

Beyond mere anger

Fury is intense, often violent anger—rage that overwhelms restraint.

A person in a fury may lash out destructively: He smashed the dishes in a fury.

Fury also describes violent force in nature: the fury of the storm.

The phrase hell hath no fury like a woman scorned warns of the wrath of rejected love. (Capitalized Fury refers to mythological figures or proper names.)
