Nguồn gốc từ
From Middle French explorer, from Latin explōrāre (to investigate, search out), itself said to be originally a hunters' term meaning "to set up a loud cry", from ex- (out) + plōrāre (to cry), but the second element is also explained as "to make to flow" (from pluere (to flow)). Displaced native rāsian.
