Origin & History

From Middle English scremen/scrimen, likely from a Scandinavian (Old Norse) source related to words meaning “to shriek” or “to cry out.”

यह शब्द मिडिल इंग्लिश (scremen/scrimen) से आया है; संभवतः स्कैंडिनेवियाई/ओल्ड नॉर्स स्रोतों से संबंधित है, जिनका अर्थ 'चीखना/चिल्लाना' जैसा था।

To make a sudden, loud, high-pitched cry or shout, often showing strong emotion (fear, pain, anger, excitement), and also the sound itself can be called a scream.

तेज़, ऊँची आवाज़ में अचानक चिल्लाना—अक्सर डर, दर्द, गुस्सा या उत्साह जैसी तीव्र भावना के कारण—और ऐसी तीखी/भेदी हुई आवाज़ को भी 'स्क्रीम' कहा जाता है।
