The idiom "in full cry" has its origins in the world of hunting, particularly referring to the pursuit of hounds or hunting dogs when they are fervently and audibly chasing prey. The term "cry" in this context doesn't imply sadness but rather the baying, barking, or howling sounds made by the dogs during the chase. Over time, the expression transitioned into broader usage, indicating a state of energetic, enthusiastic, or unrestrained activity or pursuit.
