Exclamation, exclaim का noun है: ex (बाहर) + ज़ोर से claim करना। पर i हट जाता है: exclAIm → exclAmation। 'Wow!' जैसी अचानक निकली भाव-भरी आवाज़ exclamation है, जिसके साथ! लगता है।

EXCLAMATION is the noun of exclaim, to cry out (ex, out, plus a loud 'claim'). But the i drops: exclAIm becomes exclAmation. A sudden cry like 'Wow!' that shows strong feeling is an exclamation, and it takes the! mark.
