Word origin

The word 'resound' originated from the combination of the prefix 're-' meaning back or again, and the word 'sound', which traces back to the Latin 'sonus'. The term has been in usage since the 14th century, evolving to encompass both the literal sense of sound echoing or reverberating, as well as the figurative sense of significant impact or resonance.
