IRA, IRACUNDIA
301. Terentii interpretes, act. IV, scen. 6, Heauton.: Ira de causa est, iracundia de vitio multum irascentis. Distinguit etiam Cicero, IV Tusc.; et Fronto: Iratus ex offensa est, iracundus natura.
Ibid. Verba Scripturae fortasse sunt ex Proverb. XV, 18, ubi Vulgata: Vir iracundus provocat rixas; et cap. XXVI, 21: Vir iracundus suscitat rixas. Barthius prope hunc locum indicat differentiam inter jacturam et damnum, quae littera D jam exposita fuit. [AREV.]

301. Inter Iram et iracundiam. Ira praesens est, et ex causa nascitur; iracundia autem vitium naturale [col. 41C] et perpetuum est. Item iratus pro tempore concitatur; iracundus autem frequenter [ Al., frequens] irascitur, et ad levem sermonis auram, quasi a vento folium, commovetur. De talibus dicit Scriptura: Vir iracundus inhonestus est. Et iterum: Iracundus effodit peccata.
ANGER
aegre ferre refers to silent anger.
irasci refers to a loud displeasure.
ira refers to a passion inasmuch as it thirsts after vengeance, it is a desire for revenge.
indignatio refers to an awakened or excited moral feeling of indignation insofar as this expresses with energy its disapprobation or contempt.
stomachatio refers to a fit of passion of a person of choleric temperament.
iracundia refers to a natural inclination to anger, hastiness of temper, snappishness.
Provides documented contrastive analyses of fifteen Homeric words in the semantic field of anger.
colère, courroux, emportement
Splendid analysis of the French synonym repertoire which constrasts usefully with the English repertoire.
COLERE, EMPORTEMENT, COURROUX, DEPIT, IRE, BILE
NB: Lafaye provides no adjective for "angry".
1. "Colere" refers to the subjective state of anger as such.
2. "Emportement" refers to the external manifestation of anger.
3. "Courroux" is an elevated term referring to anger in an elevated being or even a god.
4. "Depit" refers to slight temporary ill-tempered anger typically on the part of someone who feels not sufficiently respected.
5. "Ire" is very old-fashioned for "courroux"
6. "Bile" sometimes refers to anger by synecdoche, but mostly in colloquial contexts.
One might add "irritation" as a mild form of anger, as does GENOUVRIER 1992
OUTRE, INDIGNE
These words refer to a specific kind of transitory anger directed against someone's behaviour.
"Indingation" can be directed against behaviour that does not directly affect one, whereas "outrage" is only natural against an act that directly or indirectly affects one.

1. Constellation:
X is angry with Y for Z.
2. Definition:
X is in an actively negative emotional state which is caused by the fact that X is convinced of the realisation by Y of actions (connected with) Z which are undesirable for X and concerning which X considers that they contravene basic ethical principles; and X desires to express the fact that these actions are undesirable for him and undertake hostile actions in relation to the actions of Y; and this psychological state is such as would be normal in the situation indicated.
COLERE
Anger of the feeler X against the offender Y caused by offense Z.
