English[edit]
Alternative forms[edit]

Etymology[edit]
First recorded around 1538, from the Latin verb explōdere (“drive out or off by clapping”). The meaning was originally theatrical, «to drive an actor off the stage by making noise,» hence meaning to «to drive out» or «to reject». From ex- (“out”) + plaudere (“to clap; to applaud”). In English it used to mean to «drive out with violence and sudden noise» (from around 1660), and later meaning to «go off with a loud noise» (from around 1790).
The sense of «bursting with destructive force» is first recorded around 1882.

Did you know?
Theatergoers in ancient Rome could be noisy in showing both their enjoyment and their dislike of a performance. One of the ways they made noise was by clapping their hands loudly. The Latin verb plaudere meant “to make a noise by loud clapping.” When Romans were showing their approval of a performance, the word used was applaudere, from which we get our English word applaud. When Romans did not like a performance, they often drove the performer from the stage by loud claps. The word for this was explodere or explaudere, from the prefix ex-, meaning “out, away,” and plaudere. From this word we get our English word explode. At first, explode meant “to drive from the stage by a noisy expression of dislike,” but this sense has all but disappeared.
