indignance
Offended moral fury
Indignance is anger at perceived unfairness or injustice—the feeling of being wronged or insulted.
It's a less common variant of indignation, carrying the same meaning: Her indignance at the accusation was obvious.
Both words suggest righteous displeasure rather than mere irritation.
