Origin of the word howling

The word "howling" traces its roots back to Old English "hūlian," meaning "to shout" or "to cry out." This word itself likely originated from the Proto-Germanic word "*hūwjan," which also meant "to shout." The sound of "howl" is onomatopoeic, meaning it imitates the sound it describes. Over time, "hūlian" evolved into "howlen" in Middle English, and finally "howling" in modern English. The association of howling with wolves and other animals is ancient, reflecting the primal connection between human and animal sounds.
