Etymology

The word 'erupt' comes from the Latin word 'erumpere', which means 'to burst forth'. The term has been used since the 17th century to describe volcanic eruptions and later expanded to include the sudden outburst of emotions or violence. The concept of eruption symbolizes a forceful and sudden release, whether it be molten lava from a volcano or pent-up emotions from a person.
