Etymology

The word 'roar' originates from the Old French 'rorer', which means to roar or make a loud noise. This was derived from the Latin 'rugire', meaning to roar, which itself comes from the Proto-Indo-European root *rug-, referring to a noise or rumble. Over time, the term evolved in English to encompass not just the sounds made by animals but also metaphorical uses, such as roaring in laughter or in a crowd. Throughout literary history, the term has been used to evoke a sense of ferocity or passion, commonly associated with wild animals or intense emotions, and remains prevalent in both everyday language and poetic expressions.
