Fulmining

/ˈfʌlmaɪnɪŋ/ verb

Definition

Present participle of fulmine; actively exploding or speaking out vehemently.

Etymology

From fulmine with the English -ing suffix added to show ongoing action or present participle form.

Kelly Says

This archaic present participle form survives mostly in old religious texts where preachers were described as fulmining against sin—it sounds more dramatic than 'criticizing,' doesn't it?
