Clamorously

/ˈklæm.ər.əs.li/ adverb

Definition

Etymology

From 'clamorous' (adjective meaning loud and demanding) plus the adverbial suffix '-ly.' Clamorous comes from Latin 'clamor' via Old French.

Kelly Says

The difference between 'loudly' and 'clamorously' is subtle but important: you can make noise loudly by accident, but when people act clamorously, there's intentional demand and insistence mixed into the sound.
