The act of shouting, crying out, or making a loud outcry.
From Latin 'clamatio,' derived from 'clamare' (to cry out). This learned noun formation follows classical patterns and appears in English legal and rhetorical texts. The '-tion' suffix converts the verb into an abstract noun representing the action itself.
While 'clamation' is rarely used today, it appears in historical texts describing public outcry and protest—it's essentially the 'official' Latin-based noun for what crowds do when they literally cry out. The French legal system still uses related terms like 'réclamation.'
