rage

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'much anger' is the definition.
'rage' can be an answer for 'anger' (I've seen this in another clue). I am unsure of the 'much' bit.

'silver taken in again' is the wordplay.
'silver' becomes 'Ag' (Ag is the chemical symbol for silver).
'taken in' is an insertion indicator.
'again' becomes 're' (prefix meaning 'again').
'ag' going inside 're' is 'RAGE'.

'having' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rage that I've seen before include "High dudgeon" , "See red" , "Wrath" , "Gear up in violent temper" , "Fad or anger" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
