raging
Burning out of control
Raging describes intense, uncontrolled force.
A raging fire burns out of control; a raging storm batters the coast.
Applied to people, it means furiously angry: He was raging at the injustice.
Raging can also intensify: a raging headache, a raging success.
The word conveys something at full, often destructive, power.
