A rumble is a deep, low, rolling sound that goes on for a while, like distant thunder, a truck driving by, or a hungry stomach. As a verb, 'to rumble' means to make that sound. In British slang, 'to rumble someone' means to figure out that they are lying or doing something wrong — you 'caught' them. As a noun, an older slang meaning of 'a rumble' is a fight between groups, especially gangs — a word that sounds a bit old-fashioned now.
隆隆聲(悶雷、卡車、肚子餓);(英式口語)rumble someone=識破某人;(較舊俚語)幫派鬥毆
組成An echoic word — one that was made to sound like the noise it describes.
