Parshat/Torah Portion Bo (Come to Pharaoh) talks about crying out to the Lord: "a loud cry in all Mitzrayim". A couple of parshiyot /Torah portions before that, when the Divine calls out to Moses from the Burning Bush, the Voice says, among other life  and world changing statements, "I have heard their outcry". The  word used for both instances of crying out due to  suffering is the same: tzaakah. I thought to myself, "There must be a hint here; why else use the same word?"
