Definition
Making a loud, confused noise; filled with clamor or noisy demand; loudly insistent.
Etymology
From Old French 'clamor' (outcry, noise) via Latin 'clamor' (shouting, noise), with suffix '-ous' (full of). The word has meant 'noisy and demanding' since medieval English, often describing crowds or protesters.
Kelly Says
Medieval towns experienced 'clamorous' markets where merchants literally had to shout to be heard—the sensory chaos was so common that people created this word specifically to capture group loudness and insistence.
