Usage Note

Furia denotes intense, uncontrolled anger or violent force. It appears in the set phrase hecho una furia (furious, in a rage). The adjective furioso and verb enfurecer (to enrage) share the same root. Unlike ira (wrath), furia often implies an outburst in action, not just feeling.

"Salió de la reunión hecho una furia."

Natural Translation

He left the meeting in a fury.
