From earlier eira (Plautus), from Proto-Italic *eizā, from Proto-Indo-European *h₁eys- (compare Ancient Greek οἶστρος (oîstros), Lithuanian aistrà (“violent passion”), Avestan 𐬀𐬉𐬴𐬨𐬀 (aēṣ̌ma, “anger”)).
Pronunciation
Noun
īra f (genitive īrae); first declension
- ire, anger, wrath
- Synonyms: furia, indignātiō
- Dies irae. ― Day of wrath
- 29 BCE – 19 BCE, Virgil, Aeneid 1.11:
- Tantaene animīs caelestibus īrae?
- not such wrath in celestial spirits?
Can there such rage in heavenly hearts?
Did the heaven-dwellers so much anger?
resentment so in the spirits above?
How could the gods such wrath?
(Does vengeful anger, a base human emotion, also impassion divine beings? The enclitic particle “-ne” marks the Latin phrase as a question, and ellipsis – the omission of a word or phrase that can be inferred from context – intensifies varied translations.)
- not such wrath in celestial spirits?
- Tantaene animīs caelestibus īrae?
