/ˈrɔːrɪŋ//ˈrɔːrɪŋ/

The word "roaring" comes from the Old English word "rēorian," meaning "to cry out, roar, bellow." This word, in turn, is related to the Proto-Germanic word "rōdjōn," with a similar meaning. The sound of the word itself imitates the loud, deep sound of a roar, suggesting its origin in mimicking the sounds of animals. Over time, "roaring" expanded to encompass other loud noises and even expressions of strong emotion, making it a versatile and expressive word.
