bawler

/bˈɔlɚ/ noun

One who bawls.

Word Origin From Old Norse 'baula' meaning 'to moo like a cow' — so a bawler is someone who shouts or cries loudly, like a cow mooing. The word 'bawl' entered English from Scandinavian. The same root might be related to 'bellow' and 'bell' (to roar). A vivid word: you can almost hear the cow-like cry.
