wrath

extreme anger / divine punishment / vengeance
Noun

This term conveys a level of anger that is far more intense and destructive than mere annoyance or frustration. It suggests a focused, righteous, or vengeful fury that seeks to punish a perceived wrong, often carrying a heavy emotional weight of indignation. In religious or mythological contexts, the word describes a cosmic or divine retribution. It is an uncountable noun, meaning it does not have a plural form and cannot be counted with numbers; instead, it is measured by intensity or described using partitives like a fit of wrath.
