Made a loud, deep sound like a lion or thunder; laughed very loudly; or made a loud noise while moving fast.
From Old English 'rarian' or 'rēorian,' possibly imitative in origin. The sound and meaning have remained remarkably consistent for over 1,000 years.
A lion's roar can be heard from 5 miles away and serves multiple purposes—it's a territorial claim, a warning, and a confidence boost all rolled into one, making it one of nature's most efficient communication tools.
