Morphology

rampageous = rampage (transparent) = rampage + ous

Derived straightforwardly from the noun 'rampage' with the adjectival suffix '-ous', so the meaning 'given to violence/destructiveness' follows directly.

Etymology

The word rampageous comes from the noun rampage, which means a 'violent rush' or wild attack, plus the adjective ending -ous, which means 'full of'. So something rampageous is 'full of violent, uncontrollable force', which is why it describes wild and destructive behavior.
