OUT'RAGE, v.t. [Fr. outrager; Arm. outrachi, outragi; It. oltraggiare; Sp. and Port. ultrajar; from the L. ultra, beyond, It. oltre, with the common termination age; or more probably it is a compound of ultra, oltra, outre, with the Sp. ajar, to spoil, to mar, to abuse with injurious language.]

To treat with violence and wrong; to abuse by rude or insolent language; to injure by rough, rude treatment of any kind. Base and insolent minds outrage men, when they have hopes of doing it without a return. Atterbury. This interview outrages all decency. Broome.
