Italian for "angry." Also a spicy tomato sauce: All'arrabbiata means "angry style" (the sauce is made with garlic, tomatoes, and red chili, cooked in olive oil).

I thought it meant "rabid," like so angry you're rabid. Well, even if it doesn't, that's how I remember what it means... Are they from the same root? Or I'm just crazy...?

I think they are from the same Latin root, yes--meaning to rave or rage.
Oh, and you're also crazy. In a good way. :-)
