EN: running amok, frenzy, rampage
This is where the English word 'amok' comes from! It's not just a fight; it's a full-blown, chaotic rampage. Think of a scene in a movie where someone snaps and starts wrecking everything in sight. It's the ultimate 'beast mode' but in the most terrifying, uncontrolled way. It's what happens when someone's 'pasensya' has run out completely and spectacularly.
From Malay 'amuk', meaning 'to go on a furious, violent attack'. This is the origin of the English phrase 'running amok'.
Describes a state of violent, indiscriminate frenzy. A very serious and intense word.
