To explode means for something to suddenly and forcefully break apart or release energy.
When you hear the word "explode", it usually refers to something making a loud noise and causing damage. Imagine being in a movie where a bomb goes off - that's what people might mean when they say something is exploding. But the word isn't just for bombs - if a balloon pops, a tire bursts, or a firework lights up the sky, it can also explode. You might even use this word to describe your emotions: "I felt like I was going to explode with happiness!" In all these cases, the idea is that something has reached its limit and suddenly changed in a big way.
To destroy with an explosion.
Example: The assassin exploded the car by means of a car bomb.
