burst forth

Spring out suddenly

To burst forth is to emerge suddenly and forcefully, often with energy or intensity.

Water bursts forth from a broken pipe; laughter bursts forth unexpectedly; flowers burst forth in spring.

The phrase suggests something contained finally breaking free: Applause burst forth from the crowd.

It carries a sense of release or eruption.
