Etymology: "Vociferators" is the plural of "vociferator", a noun for someone who vociferates, meaning to shout or cry out loudly. The noun is formed from "vociferate" with the agent suffix "-or", which turns a verb into a term for the person doing the action, just as "narrator" comes from "narrate" and "dictator" from "dictate". The Latin root behind "vociferate" is "vociferari", built from "vox", meaning "voice", and "ferre", meaning "to bring" or "to carry", so the literal sense is something like "to carry one's voice" far out.
