Etymology
The word 'reverberate' originated from the Latin word 'reverberatus', which means 'beaten back'. The term was first recorded in English in the late 16th century. It is derived from the prefix 're-' meaning 'back' and 'verberare' meaning 'to beat'. Over time, the word evolved to represent the concept of sound echoing or having a lasting impact.
