Definition
Expressing or characterized by exclamation; uttered or expressed with sudden strong feeling or emphasis.
Etymology
From Latin 'exclamatorius' (tending to cry out), derived from 'exclamare' (to cry out) + '-ory' suffix. The meaning has remained consistent since Latin times.
Kelly Says
Exclamatory sentences are the punctuation equivalent of standing up from your seat—the exclamation mark is like the physical gesture that emphasizes you're not just speaking, you're feeling intensely.
