Etymology
The word 'bellowed' is derived from the Old English term 'bellan', which means 'to roar' or 'to cry out'. This etymological root can be traced back to Proto-Germanic *ballōną, which is also related to the Middle Dutch 'bellen' and the Old High German 'bellōn'. In its evolution, the term has maintained a strong association with loud, resonant vocalizations both in the animal kingdom and in human communication. The use of 'bellow' in literature and spoken language often evokes a powerful imagery, suggesting not just volume but also emotion and vigor. Over centuries, 'bellowed' has been employed in various contexts, from describing animal sounds to expressing human emotions in literature and everyday speech.
