Etymology
The word 'fulminated' has its origins in the early 17th century, derived from the Latin word 'fulminare', which means 'to strike with lightning'. This etymological root reflects the dual nature of the word, encompassing both explosive developments and vehement denunciations. In its earliest usages, it was commonly associated with physical eruptions or explosions, hence the association with the violent aspects of lightning. Over time, the use of the term broadened to include figurative meanings, such as the idea of vehemently criticizing or expressing strong disapproval. The evolution of its meaning illustrates the connection between sudden, forceful outbursts, whether in physical or rhetorical forms, showcasing the richness and multiplicity of the English language.
