Word origin
The word 'eruption' originated from the Latin word 'erumpere', which means 'to break out'. It has been used in English since the late 16th century to describe the sudden release of volcanic material from a volcano. Eruptions have fascinated and terrified people throughout history, leading to the development of volcano monitoring and prediction techniques.
