Near synonyms 1 word

χολάω choláō · G5520 · to be very angry, to be full of anger: Both terms denote states of anger. χολάω derives from a physiological metaphor of 'biliousness' as a figure for irritability or rage, a distinguishing idiom rather than a contradiction of the underlying near-synonym relationship, and the two share a clear conceptual overlap in denoting anger.
