The word “crier” generally refers to a person who calls out or makes announcements, especially in public places. Historically, a crier would be someone hired to proclaim news, announcements, or proclamations to the public, often in a loud voice. The term can also refer to specific roles such as a “town crier,” who is responsible for announcing important news or events in a town or community. In a more informal context, “crier” can denote someone who expresses strong emotions, particularly crying in response to certain situations.
