Outrage

An outrage is that which goes be- yond bounds (being formed by adding the common suflix age to outre, Old Fr. oltre, from Lat. ultra, beyond). It occurs in the heading to Ps 10, ‘ David complaineth to God of the outrage of the wicked.’ The adj. outrageous is found in Pr 27* ‘anger is outrageous’ (lit. as RVm ‘anger is a flood’; Amer. RV ‘overwhelming’). For the prim. sense of the adj. οἵ. Guylforde, Pylgrymage, τ 36, ‘There be 1111.

rowes or range of pylers thrughout ye church, of ye fynest marble yt may be, not onely mervay- lous for ye nombre, bat for he outragyous gretnes, length, and fayrenes thereof.’ J. HASTINGS. OUTROAD is now lost to the Eng. language, though ‘inroad’ remains. It was never common, and occurs in AV only at 1 Mac 15" ‘ He set horse- men there, and an host of footmen, to the end that issuing out they might make outroads upon the ways of Judah’ (ἐξοδεύωσι)..

RV retains the word here, and even introduces it into 1 Es 4% ‘A man taketh his sword and goeth forth to make out- roads’ (éfodevev; AV omits to translate). The same Gr. verb occurs in 2 Mac 12", but AV gives ‘went forth,’ RV ‘sallied forth.’ J. HASTINGs.
