The word "outrage" keeps its E when adding OUS.
Most nouns that form an -ous adjective drop a final silent E. However, this is not done when the noun ends in GE. Otherwise, it would appear to have a gus or goose sound rather than the original J sound of the -age form.
Examples :
adventure - adventurous
fame - famous
advantage - advantageous
courage - courageous
There are many special forms created by -ous including wondrous and miraculous.
