Etymology
The word 'clangor' is derived from the Latin term 'clangere', which means 'to sound' or 'to ring'. The term has evolved through Old and Middle English before arriving in its current form. Originating in usage around the late 16th century, it was primarily used to describe the sound made by ringing bells or striking metal objects. Over centuries, the meaning has broadened to encompass any loud, resonating noise. Today, 'clangor' is often used in both literal and figurative contexts, such as in literature to describe tumultuous events or overwhelming noise, highlighting its versatility in modern language.
