Origin

Middle English (also in the sense 'madness'): from Old French rage (noun), rager (verb), from a variant of Latin rabies (see rabies).

In medieval times rage could also mean ‘madness’. It goes back ultimately to Latin rabere ‘to rave’, which is also the source of rabies, and early 17th-century rabid of which the early sense was ‘furious, madly violent’ (Dickens Dombey and Son: ‘He was made so rabid by the gout’). The sense ‘affected with rabies’ arose in the early 19th century. Since the late 18th century something that is the subject of a widespread temporary enthusiasm or fashion has been described as the rage or all the rage to mean ‘very popular or fashionable’. In 1811 the poet Lord Byron wrote that he was to hear his fellow poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge, ‘who is a kind of rage at present’. Bad drivers have always caused annoyance, but with increasing traffic and pace of life some people are now provoked into road rage. The phrase is first recorded in 1988, since when many other kinds of rage have been reported, among them air rage, trolley rage in a supermarket, and even golf rage. Enrage dates from the late 15th century.
