Morphology
The overall meaning ‘in a state of anger’ is related to the literal parts: 'in' + indefinite article + 'radge' (which denotes becoming extremely angry). However, the form requires a verb→noun conversion ('a radge') and relies on slang/regional usage, so a B1 learner who knows the verb 'radge' might guess the meaning but it is not fully predictable without exposure. Because of the conversion and register-specificity, this is only partially transparent.
Etymology
In a radge may come from a way some people said the word 'rage', giving a clear picture of someone full of angry feelings. So, being in a radge means being 'very angry' or 'extremely annoyed'.
