Amok, sometimes spelled amuck and often used as "running amok," is a Malay word which, in that language, means to be out of control. In the Philippines the concept is known as juramentado.

Run amok. The spelling "amuck" is accepted now because it's such a common misspelling.

As an adjective, it means a violently uncontrolled frenzy. My day quickly ran amok after that fateful phonecall!. (Just an example.)
