覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
outbursts は outburst の規則的な複数形で、語末に -s を付け、直前が /t/ のため末尾は /s/ と発音する。out「外へ」＋ burst「破裂する」から、内にたまった怒り・笑い・抗議が突然外へ噴き出す像を作る。angry／sudden／repeated outbursts の組み合わせで、複数回の感情爆発として覚える。
Outbursts is the regular plural of outburst. The added -s is pronounced /s/ because outburst ends in the voiceless sound /t/. Divide the noun into out and burst: emotion held inside suddenly “bursts out.” This physical image suits angry remarks, uncontrolled laughter, or sudden protest. Common combinations such as angry outbursts, sudden outbursts, and repeated outbursts emphasize separate episodes rather than a steady emotional state. The singular outburst names one episode; outbursts signals two or more.

Outbursts is the plural of outburst, a compound of out and burst.
