Etymology

The word 'echo' originated from the Greek myth of Echo, a mountain nymph who fell in love with Narcissus. When Narcissus rejected her, she pined away until all that was left was her voice. The term 'echo' has since been used to describe the reflection of sound waves off surfaces, creating a repeated sound effect.
