arrabbi

Arrabbi is not a standard standalone word in Italian or other major languages. It is most often encountered as a partial form or misspelling of related terms. In Italian, the standard forms are arrabbiato (angry), arrabbiare (to anger), and arrabbiarsi (to become angry). The noun arrabbiamento means anger or irritation. The form arrabbi on its own does not appear in authoritative dictionaries and typically requires disambiguation.

In culinary contexts, the familiar term is alla arrabbiata, meaning “in the style of the angry [one].” The sauce penne all’arrabbiata is notable for its spicy flavor, often featuring garlic and chili. The expression evokes heat and intensity rather than literal anger.

As a proper noun, arrabbi may appear as a surname or place name in Italian-speaking regions, but it is not widely attested as a distinct, widely known entity in public records. There are no widely known people, organizations, or locations officially named Arrabbi in major reference works.

Because arrabbi is not a standard term, its meanings are context-dependent and it should be clarified by the surrounding text when encountered. The related, well-attested forms arrabbiato, arrabbiare, and arrabbiata are the forms used in dictionaries and in common usage. See also arrabbiato, arrabbiare, alla arrabbiata.
