   syn: anger; irritation; vexation; displeasure; grudge;
        indignation; choler; gall; ire; wrath; rage; fury.

   usage: resentment, anger. anger is the broader term,
          denoting a keen sense of disapprobation usually with
          a desire to punish for whatever we feel to be wrong,
          whether directed toward ourselves or others.
          resentment is anger exicted by a sense of personal
          injury. it is, etymologically, that reaction of the
          mind which we instinctively feel when we think
          ourselves wronged. pride and selfishness are apt to
          aggravate this feeling until it changes into a
          criminal animosity; and this is now the more common
          signification of the term. being founded in a sense of
          injury, this feeling is hard to be removed; and hence
          the expressions bitter or implacable resentment. see
          anger.
