roar

A roar is a loud and powerful sound made by an animal, like a lion or a bear. It's also used as a verb to mean making such a loud noise.

When we talk about a roar, we usually think of it coming from big animals that are very strong and can be scary if they get angry. Imagine you're on a safari in Africa and suddenly hear the roar of a lion in the distance – it's an intimidating sound! But a roar can also be made by humans, like when people cheer at a sports game or celebrate something. In this case, the word "roar" means making a very loud noise with your voice.
