Etymologie

[ ik-splOr, -splor ] (verb.) 1585. Recorded since c.1450 (implied in explorator), from Latin explorare "investigate, search out", itself said to be originally a hunters' term meaning "set up a loud cry," from ex- "out" + plorare "to cry", but the second element is also explained as "to make to flow" (from pluere "to flow")
