Relating to the voice or singing; also used to describe someone who speaks out loudly about their opinions.
From Latin 'vocalis,' derived from 'vox' meaning 'voice.' The word entered Middle English through Old French and has meant 'of or relating to voice' since the 14th century.
The Latin root 'vox' appears in over 50 English words—advocate, provoke, revoke, convoke—all literally about 'calling' something out, showing how one ancient Roman word branched into a whole family of related meanings.
