To howl or wail loudly; to cry out in a manner suggesting extreme emotion or pain.
From Latin exulare or exulatus, possibly combining ex- (out) with a root related to howling or wailing sounds. This rare word emerged in English medical and literary texts to describe extreme vocal expression.
This obscure word combines the prefix for 'out' with what might be an imitative root for howling, creating a term that linguistic historians think might describe the kind of primal, uncontrollable vocal outburst that humans produce under extreme stress.
