Vengeance means hurting someone on purpose because they hurt you or someone you care about first - getting back at them, often in a serious or violent way. It feels stronger and more dramatic than the everyday word "revenge." The phrase "with a vengeance" means doing something with extra force or intensity, like "the rain came down with a vengeance."
