1. What is thunder out? Astonish comes from Latin extonare, ex-, out + tonare. Extonare is "thunder out."
2. Could you give me a sentence including the phrase "thunder out?"
3. What is out here?

Thanks.

He thundered out his orders to the soldiers = He REALLY  SHOUTED his orders to the soldiers.

"Out" here means "so as to be heard".

"Thunder out" - use the full volume of your voice in order to be heard, or in the case of music to have lots of loud noise.
