A UK regional adjective meaning fierce, violent, or raging — essentially 'outrageous' stripped of its prefix and given extra raw energy. It's the kind of word that feels like something your nan might have said during a storm or a bad argument, and it has that old-school regional English character that modern slang sometimes rediscovers. Compact, expressive, and weirdly satisfying to say out loud.
The wind off the moors was absolutely rageous — nearly took the gate clean off its hinges.
