| 词汇 | bawl |
| 词源 | bawl; bawl out. Dating back to the 15th century, bawl for a loud, rough cry probably derives from the Latin for baulere, “to bark like a dog.” The word was also applied to the sounds of other animals, especially cows and bulls, which supports the theory that to bawl out originated as American ranch slang, suggested by the bawling or bellowing of angry bulls. |
