Root Explanation

The word 'roar' originates from Old English 'rēran', meaning to make a loud noise or cry out. It is related to similar words in other Germanic languages, such as Old Norse 'rǫr' and Dutch 'roeren', which also convey the idea of making a loud sound or commotion.

Memory Tip

Imagine a lion making a loud noise to assert its presence — that's what 'roar' means, a loud cry or noise.
