the.com/roar
the sound that turns muscle into legend and silence into surrender.
means To make a deep, loud, prolonged sound — as a lion, an engine, a crowd, or fire does — or that sound itself.
from From Old English 'rārian,' to roar or wail, echoed in Old High German 'rēren.' At root it's imitative — an ancient attempt to spell a sound the throat already knew, the kind of word humans build by simply opening their mouths and listening to the beast.
