the.com/shout
the air itself bullied into carrying your point further than reason ever could
means To say something very loudly, raising your voice to be heard, to express strong feeling, or to call out across a distance.
from From Middle English shouten, of uncertain origin — but possibly related to Old Norse skūta, 'a taunt or jeer,' and perhaps a cousin of 'scout' in its older sense of mockery. There's a tempting link to 'shoot,' as if a shout were a sound fired off, but that connection is folk-intuition rather than proven fact.
