🧭🔍 ex-plor-ación: ex (out) + plorare (cry out) — scouts shouting out discoveries
From Latin explorare, 'to search out', likely ex- (out) + plorare (to cry out), as hunters or scouts called out when they found something. Spanish exploración keeps that sense: searching out new ground, or a medical scan.
