Explosion – The Meaning • explosion 1623, from Fr. explosion, from L. explosionem (nom. explosio), from explodere "drive out by clapping" (see explode for origin and sense evolution). Sense of "rapid increase or development" is first attested 1953. Explosive (n.) first attested 1874. • explode 1538, from L. explodere "drive out or off by clapping," originally theatrical, "to drive an actor off the stage by making noise," hence "drive out, reject" (a sense surviving in an exploded theory), from ex- "out" + plaudere "to clap, applaud," of uncertain origin. Eng. used it to mean "drive out with violence and sudden noise" (1660), later, "go off with a loud noise" (Amer.Eng. 1790); sense of "to burst with destructive force" is first recorded 1882; of population, 1959. • Implosion "a bursting inward," 1877, modeled on explosion (q.v.). Originally in ref. to effect of deep sea pressures. Fig. sense is from 1960. Verb implode is from 1881. • detonation 1677, "explosion accompanied by loud sound," from Fr. détonation, from M.L. detonationem, from L. detonare "to release one's thunder, roar out," from de- "down" + tonare "to thunder" (see thunder). Sense of "act of causing to explode" (mid-18c.) developed in Fr. • populate 1574, from M.L. populatus, pp. of populare "inhabit," from L. populus "inhabitants." Population "the degree to which a place is populated" is first recorded 1612, from L.L. populationem (c.470, nom. populatio) "a people, multitude," as if a noun of action from L. populus "people." Population explosion is first attested 1953. • blast O.E. blæst "puff of wind," from PIE *bhle-, var. of base *bhel- "to swell, blow up" (see bole). Meaning "explosion" is from 1635; that of "noisy party, good time" is from 1953, Amer.Eng. slang. Sense of "strong current of air for iron-smelting" (1697) led to blast furnace and transf. sense in full blast "the extreme" (1839). Blast was the usual word for "a smoke of tobacco" c.1600. Blast off first recorded 1951.
