Etymologically, "the passing beyond reasonable bounds" in any sense; meaning narrowed in English toward violent excesses because of folk etymology from out + rage. Of injuries to feelings, principles, etc., from 1769. outrage (v.) c.1300, "to go to excess, act immoderately," from outrage (n.). From 1580s with meaning "do violence to."
