One way to hold this word: a single sound, held high and long, that you cannot ignore. A child crying and not stopping. A turning the corner. The word does not really name sadness — it names that shape of sound. Once you hear the shape, every other use of the word follows: a mouth, a chimney, a , a saxophone can all make it.

可以想成一條又高又長、拉著不放的聲音：小孩哭到停不下來的那一聲，救護車從街角拉過去的那一聲。這個字真正指的其實不是難過，而是聲音的形狀——長、高、傳得遠、你想不聽也不行。先聽見這個形狀，其他用法就都接得上：一張嘴、一根煙囪、一支警笛、一把薩克斯風，都發得出這個聲音。From the word’s history
Wiktionary dates wail to about 1300, from Old Norse væla, from væ / vei 'woe' — the same root family as English woe. The verb is first attested in the intransitive sense, and the noun came from the verb.
根據 Wiktionary，wail 約在 1300 年進入英文，來自古北歐語 væla，字根是 væ／vei「哀」，跟英文的 woe 同一家。資料也說明：不及物的用法最早出現，及物的用法到十四世紀中才長出來，名詞則是從動詞來的。可以想成這個字一開始就是「把 woe 發成聲音」。
