I believe this clue is a quadruple definition!!

'to outrage' is the first definition.
('shock' can be a synonym of 'outrage')

'the feelings' is the second definition.
The answer is an example.

'with' is a link.

'a mass' is the third definition.
(shock is a kind of mass)

'of' is a link.

'untidy hair' is the fourth definition.
'shock' can be an answer for 'hair' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'untidy' bit.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for shock that I've seen before include "Perturb" , "Mass of hair; group of sheaves" , "Jar" , "Sudden upset; offend" , "Jolt" .)
