Etymology

The word 'yowl' dates back to Middle English, with roots in Old Norse 'jวซla', which means to 'howl' or 'yell'. The term has evolved through usage in various dialects, particularly in areas with strong connections to feline and canine populations. As a vocalization associated with distress or communication, 'yowl' captures a primal response to emotion, famously used in literature to express sorrow or fear. Its onomatopoeic nature draws from the actual sound produced, making it a vivid descriptor in both spoken and written language. The transition from 'yowl' to 'yowled' represents a natural linguistic development, reflecting the verb's action in the past tense.
