词根拆分
词根派生源自拉丁语 clāmor,"一声呼喊"(clam 是词根的非重读形式 + -or)。和带前缀的 claim 词不同,clamor 是那股原始的集体喧嚣本身——众声齐喊(a clamor of protest 抗议的喧嚷),或大声要求(clamor for change 强烈要求变革)。美式拼 clamor,英式拼 clamour。
词根 claim 还连着 24 个词使用指南
拼写:clamor(美式)/ clamour(英式)。动词最常见的搭配是 clamor for + 名词(clamor for reform 要求改革)或 clamor to + 动词(clamored to be heard 嚷着要被听见)。
