(Lentz) καὶ τὸ ὀργή, παρὰ γὰρ τὸ ὄρω ἐστὶ τὸ σημαῖνον τὸ ὁρμῶ, παρ’ ὃ τὸ ὀρίνω· «τοῦ δ’ ὠρίνετο θυμός» (Ι 595) «ὄρινε δὲ κῆρ Ὀδυσῆος», ὀρή καὶ ὀργή.
Translation (En)
And orgē "anger", because it comes from *orō, which means "to rush", from which orinō "to stir" : "and his heart was moved" (Il. 9.595), "and he moved Ulysses' heart", *orē and orgē.

Comment
Derivational etymology implying one formal manipulation, the addition of the consonant [g]. The assumed etymon is a ghost form *ὄρω, assumed to be the common etymon of ὄρνυμι, ὀρίνω and ὁρμάω. The thematic *ὄρω is deduced from ὄρνυμι in the customary way, by deletion of -νυμι and its replacement by the thematic ending (Greek grammarians thought the athematic forms were derived from the thematic ones, since they started from the usual forms, which is most of the times thematic). Therefore anger is what moves men and incites them to act. From there arose a secondary etymology directly relating ὀργή and ὁρμή (see Parallels)
