Where it comes from
From Middle French fulmination, from Latin fulminātiō; equivalent to fulmine + -ation.
noun fulminations
- The act of fulminating or exploding; detonation.
- The act of thundering forth threats or censures, as with authority. It is curious, reading the fulminations of American purists of the last generation, to note how many of the Americanisms they denounced have not only got into perfectly good usage at home but even broken down all guards across the ocean.
- That which is fulminated or thundered forth; vehement menace or censure.
