'uproarious' originates from the English word 'uproar,' which comes from the Middle Dutch word 'uproer,' where 'up' meant 'up' and 'roer' meant 'motion or disturbance.'

'uproer' transformed into the English word 'uproar,' and eventually became the modern English word 'uproarious.'

Initially, it meant 'causing a disturbance,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'extremely funny or noisy.'
