Etymology
The word 'fulminate' originates from the Latin root 'fulminare', which means 'to strike with lightning'. This Latin term itself comes from 'fulmen', meaning 'lightning'. It was first used in English in the early 17th century. The sense of the word evolved from its literal meaning regarding lightning to denote a sudden outburst of anger or vehement protest. Its use has continued to reflect intense emotional expression, often tied to political or social commentary. Over time, 'fulminate' solidified its place in English as a term denoting fierce criticism or a passionate outcry.
