The document discusses the etymology of the word "explorer", tracing it back to its Latin roots of "plorare" meaning "to flow" or "to cry". It provides two examples of how the original Latin meanings are related to the modern concept of an explorer - an explorer investigates unfamiliar regions, similar to how water flows out to fill new spaces, or how hunters would cry out to investigate unknown areas ahead of them.
