1. 1

    Clangour is a loud ringing noise that goes on — bells, trumpets, swords, heavy machines — not one short bang, but a sound that fills the air. It often feels metallic, though people stretch it a little for any harsh din that will not stop. It is rather ; novels and news use it more than everyday talk. American spelling is clangor, without the u. You can also use it as a verb (the bells clangour), but that is even rarer. The noun is the form you will actually meet.

    持續的鏗鏘聲、金屬喧響(偏書面;美式拼作 clangor)
