There's no "rage" in "outrage" and "courage."
I'm reading "The Freedom Trail in Mississippi Is a Chronicle of Outrage and Courage," which I recommend but won't summarize. I want to talk about a language matter, the "rage" in "outrage" and "courage." You probably already realize that there's no "rage" in "courage," that it's a combination of "cour" (which means heart) and "-age" (which is a standard way to make a noun "denoting something belonging or functionally related to what is denoted by the first element" (OED)). But you probably, like me, think "rage" is the foundation of the word "outrage" and "out" is a prefix, such as in "outside" or "outlaw." I was surprised to see that "outrage," like "courage," is using the "-age" ending, and the "r" is part of the root of the word, "outr-." It comes from the Latin ("ultra") and the "outre" for "beyond," signifying transgression. The OED acknowledges, "In English often reanalysed as out- prefix + rage n., a notion which affected the sense development." That is, there is no "rage" in "outrage," but we see it there anyway and it affects how we understand the word. I don't think we see "rage" in "courage," though. I'm only seeing it now because of that headline, putting "outrage" and "courage" side by side, so I don't think our understanding of "courage" is affected by the unseen "rage."
Thus articles There's no "rage" in "outrage" and "courage."
