Etymology

1. 1290, "violent behavior, excess, extravagance," from O.Fr. outrage (12c.), earlier oltrage (11c.), from V.L. *ultraticum "excess," from L. ultra "beyond." Etymologically, "the passing beyond reasonable bounds" in any sense; meaning narrowed in Eng. toward violent excesses because of folk etymology from out + rage. Of injuries to feelings, principles, etc., from 1769. The verb is from 1303 in the sense of "to go to excess;" 1590 with meaning "do violence to." Outrageous is from c.1325; modern teen slang usages of it unwittingly approach the original and etymological sense of the word.
2. From Middle English outrage, from Old French outrage, oultrage (“excess”), from Vulgar Latin *ultrāticum ("a going beyond"), derived from Latin ultrā (“beyond”). Later reanalysed as out- + rage, whence the contemporary pronunciation, though neither of these are etymologically related.
3. The verb is from Middle English outragen, from Old French oultragier.
