Etymology

The word 'explode' originated from the Latin word 'explodere', which means 'drive out by clapping'. It was first recorded in the English language in the early 16th century. The term initially referred to the act of driving out with a loud noise, and over time, it came to encompass the ideas of bursting, shattering, or rapidly expanding. The versatility of 'explode' in describing various forms of violent release or sudden growth has made it a commonly used verb in everyday language.
