- anger; annoyance. It is interesting to note that many of the illustrative quotations for words associated with anger make it clear that they are being used about people who have lost their sense of proportion; in the Testament of Cresseid (a1500), Robert Henryson writes of Mars the god of ire . . . but [without] temperance in tene.
