词源
late Middle English: from Latin fulminat- 'struck by lightning', from fulmen， fulmin- 'lightning'. The earliest sense （derived from medieval Latin fulminare） was denounce formally', later 'issue formal censures' (originally said of the Pope). A sense 'emit thunder and lightning', based on the original Latin meaning, arose in the early 17th cent., and hence 'explode violently' （late 17th cent.）.
