Etymology
The word 'trumpeted' originates from the noun 'trumpet,' which comes from the Old French word 'trompette,' a diminutive of 'trompe,' meaning a trumpet. This noun itself has roots in the Latin word 'trompa,' which means 'trumpet' or 'horn.' The verb form 'to trumpet' emerged in the English language, likely influenced by the celebratory and attention-grabbing qualities of the musical instrument. Initially, trumpets were used in military contexts to signal commands or announce events, and this loud, clear communication style has translated into the metaphorical use of 'trumpeting' something in contemporary language. The notion of spreading news or making bold declarations has persisted, enabling the word to evolve into its current usages around the 15th century when it established its presence in literary works.
