Etymology
The word 'aloud' originates from Middle English *aloude*, which is a combination of the prefix 'a-' meaning 'in a certain way' and 'loud', which means producing sound with strength. The root 'loud' comes from Old English *hlud*, meaning 'noisy or loud'. The usage of 'aloud' has been recorded since the 14th century, where it was used in literary contexts and meant to speak or read in a voice that could be heard by others. Over centuries, the term has maintained its meaning, being used in various contexts where clear and audible speech is required.
