Rage. → To be angry. ※Humorary book, Ukiyoburo (1809-13), 3 “You may be verbose , but you never say anything annoying.” [Eloquence] (1) “虪” is a Japanese character. “Shaku” is the Go-on pronunciation of “集” (tsuku). It was considered to be an illness peculiar to women (and occasionally to handsome men and female impersonators), caused by the accumulation of hardships. The psychological element expanded, and expressions such as “I get annoyed,” “I get annoyed,” and “I get annoyed” were born.
(2) There is a similar disease called " kan, " which occurs in children. Both diseases were believed to be caused by insects inside the body. The combination of the two, "kan," means exclusively to be annoyed and get angry.

〘名〙① 胸部または腹部におこる一種のけいれん痛で、多く女性にみられる。医学的には胃けいれん、子宮けいれん、腸神経痛などが考えられる。仙気。仙痛。さし込み。しゃくつかえ。※言経卿記‐文祿二年（1593）五月一二日「くりへ風藤之粉五服遣了。積之薬也」※滑稽本・浮世床（1813‐23）二「あげ句の果は発(おこ)りもしねへ癪(シャク)と号して、三日ばかりふて寝をする」② (形動) 気に入らなくて、腹が立つこと。また、そのさま。かんしゃく。いかり。→癪を言う。※滑稽本・浮世風呂（1809‐13）三「どくどくしく云なさるけれど癪(シャク)な事はいはねへはな」[語誌](1)「癪」は国字。「しゃく」は「積」の呉音から。女性特有（まれに美男子や女形にも）の病で辛苦の積もりによって起こるものと解されていた。その心因性の要素が拡大して「癪が上る」「癪にさわる」「癪を言う」などの言い方が生まれた。
(2)類似の病に「癇(かん)」があるが、こちらは子供におこるものをいう。ともに、体内にいる虫がおこすと信じられていた。二つをあわせた「癇癪」は、もっぱら気に障って腹をたてることをいう。
