rager singular

Morphology

rager = rage (semi-transparent) = rage + er

Formed from 'rage' + '-er', but the party/event sense relies on the informal 'to party' meaning of 'rage', which is not fully predictable from the common 'anger' sense.

Etymology

Rager comes from rage ('strong feeling' or 'anger') plus -er, and it gives the image of a party so loud and wild it seems to be 'raging' with energy. So a rager is a very loud, wild party.
