The word "clamour" can also describe a gathering where many people are passionately and vociferously expressing their thoughts or discontent. As such, it shows the strength of collective emotions and the potential for both unity and discord within a group or society.
Within its historical context, "clamour" has been used to describe the sounds of battle, political rallies, protests, or any situation where large groups of individuals come together and vocally amplify their presence and viewpoints.
Overall, "clamour" represents both the physical and metaphorical dimensions of a loud and persistent uproar, whether it is manifested in actual noise or in the passionate, collective expression of opinions and emotions.

The word "clamour" originates from the Old French word "clamour", which came from the Latin word "clamor". In Latin, "clamor" means "a loud cry" or "shouting". The root of "clamor" is "clamare", which means "to cry out" or "to shout". Over time, the word "clamour" developed in English to refer to a noisy outcry, uproar, or loud noise.
