Rugido

A rugido is the Spanish word for a roar. It specifically refers to a deep, prolonged sound of anger, pain, or power, most commonly associated with large animals, particularly predators like lions or tigers. It can also be used metaphorically to describe a loud, booming sound resembling an animal roar, such as thunder or a powerful engine.

The intensity and context of a rugido can vary. It can convey a sense of threat, dominance, or even suffering depending on the situation and the animal (or object) producing the sound. In literature and figurative language, the term can evoke feelings of fear, awe, or impending danger.
