Where did bullhorn come from?

The term "bullhorn" originates from the shape of the early loudspeakers that resembled a bull's horn. It was initially used in the 1930s to describe handheld loudspeakers that amplified the voice, primarily for use in rallies and protests. The device became popular for its ability to project sound over long distances, making it an essential tool for public speaking and crowd communication. Over time, "bullhorn" has become a generic term for any portable loudspeaker.
