What does bell bellowed mean?

"Bell bellowed" is a figurative expression that uses onomatopoeia to describe a loud, booming sound.

Here's how it works:

* Bell: Refers to the object that makes a ringing sound.

* Bellowed: Represents the sound itself, evoking a deep, powerful, and often echoing voice.

The phrase suggests a sound that is:

* Loud: Like a loud shout or cry.

* Resonating: Carrying far and wide.

* Powerful: Commanding attention and perhaps even causing a physical reaction.

Example:

"The alarm bell bellowed, jolting everyone awake."

Note: This is not a literal description. Bells don't actually bellow, but the phrase creates a vivid image of the sound they make.
