Characterized by or full of clamor; loud, demanding, and tumultuous.
From 'clamor' plus the suffix '-some' (meaning full of, as in 'quarrelsome' or 'troublesome'). A rare or archaic formation parallel to '-ous.'
English speakers typically use 'clamorous' rather than 'clamorsome,' but archaic '-some' adjectives reveal how language constantly prunes alternatives—we choose winners like 'quarrelsome' but forget competitors like 'clamorsome.'
