Speaking or shouting in an angry, loud, or passionate way, often without making much sense.
From Dutch 'ranten', meaning to rave or speak wildly, or possibly from Frisian origins. The word entered English in the 17th century and originally referred to unhinged speech.
The internet has made ranting both more visible and more viral—algorithm changes mean that an angry 3-minute video reaches more people than a calm speech, fundamentally changing how passion gets expressed in public.
