Definition

British spelling of clamored; past tense of clamour, meaning to make loud demands or complaints.

British English spelling of 'clamored,' using the '-our-' spelling pattern typical of British orthography. From Latin 'clamor' via Old French, with the -ed past tense marker.

Kelly Says

The British spelling 'clamoured' with its extra 'u' is one of many transatlantic spelling differences—American writers dropped the 'u' from words like 'color' and 'clamor' as a deliberate spelling reform in the 1800s.
