Etymology: Angrinesse is "angry" with the suffix "-ness", the same ending that turns "kind" into "kindness" and "happy" into "happiness". The result names the state of being angry, and the word is now rarely used. The base word, "angry", was formed in Middle English from "anger", which came into English from Old Norse "angr", meaning grief or vexation. The Old Norse word is related to Latin "angere", meaning to choke or distress.
