語源
ex-外へ+plode拍手する
ラテン語で「拍手や野次で役者を舞台から追い出す」。勢いよく外へ追い出す「爆発する」。

英語の原文(Wiktionary)
The meaning was originally theatrical, "to drive an actor off the stage by making noise," hence meaning to "to drive out" or "to reject". From ex- (“out”) + plaudere (“to clap; to applaud”). In English it used to mean to "drive out with violence and sudden noise" (from around 1660), and later meaning to "go off with a loud noise" (from around 1790). The sense of "bursting with destructive force" is first recorded around 1882.
