Etymology
The word 'clangorously' is derived from 'clangor', which originates from the Latin 'clangor', meaning 'a loud noise' or 'to clatter'. This Latin term itself is related to the verb 'clangere', meaning 'to sound or to strike'. The development into English occurred in the early 17th century, where it began to be used to describe loud, metallic sounds. Over time, the adverbial form 'clangorously' was formed to describe actions performed in a clanging manner. The evolution of the term has made it a literary device for expressing vivid auditory images, often evoking scenes of chaos or uproar.
