Best Answer

The word Trumpet comes from the 14th century and is a variation of the word triumph. Throughout history, trumpets have been associated with three things: signaling armies, splendorous music for royalty, and in religious rituals. The main purpose of trumpets in the 14th century was as a signaling device to convey orders to soldiers in the midst of battle so that the army could triumph over their enemy.
