Answer

ANGER

This word describes a strong feeling of displeasure or hostility that can range from mild irritation to intense fury. It comes from the Old Norse word 'angr' meaning grief or sorrow, which evolved over time to primarily mean the heated emotion we know today. Interestingly, psychologists consider this emotion to be one of the basic human emotions present across all cultures.
