Why this word is great
FRAGOR — [Noun] A sudden, violent, and shattering sound, as of breaking or conflict; a crash, din, or roar. From Latin fragor ("a breaking, crash"), from frangō ("to break"). Unlike "clamor," which suggests a prolonged, human cacophony, or the etymologically divergent "fragrance," which drifted into the realm of scent, fragor is a singular, catastrophic report. It is the oak splintering in the storm, the glass of a storefront failing, and the percussive thunderclap that swallows all prior sound—the definitive auditory mark of integrity giving way, after which the world is simply quieter, and different.
