Etymology
The word 'echo' comes from the Latin 'echo', which itself derives from the Greek 'ฤkhล', meaning 'sound' or 'noise'. In Greek mythology, Echo was a mountain nymph who could only repeat the last words spoken to her, thereby giving rise to the metaphorical use of the term to signify the repetition of sounds or ideas. The term has been used in English since the late Middle Ages, evolving in its application from a literal sound phenomenon to various metaphorical uses in literature and speech. The verb form 'echoed' emphasizes the action of this repetition, whether in sound, feeling, or thought.
