A quick definition of outrage:

Outrage is when someone intentionally or recklessly causes another person to feel extreme emotional distress through their actions. This is also known as intentional infliction of emotional distress. In some places, the person experiencing the distress must show physical signs of their suffering to be able to seek compensation. Outrage is a type of intentional tort, which means it is a wrongful act done on purpose.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Outrage refers to the intentional or reckless act of causing severe emotional distress to another person through extreme or outrageous behavior. In some jurisdictions, a physical manifestation of the mental suffering is required for the plaintiff to recover. It is also known as intentional infliction of emotional distress or IIED.

Example: A person intentionally spreading false rumors about someone's personal life, causing them to suffer severe emotional distress, can be considered an act of outrage.

Explanation: In this example, the intentional act of spreading false rumors is extreme and outrageous behavior that can cause severe emotional distress to the victim. The victim may experience physical symptoms such as anxiety, depression, or even physical illness as a result of the emotional distress caused by the defendant's actions. This can be considered an act of outrage or intentional infliction of emotional distress.
