Etymology
Explozie entered Romanian from French explosion, which in turn comes from Latin explosio, the noun tied to the verb explodere. In classical Latin explodere meant to drive an actor off stage by clapping and hissing, from ex- (out) plus plaudere (to clap, strike). The sense shifted over time from a theatrical rejection to a violent bursting outward.
