Definition of the word resound

The word "resound" originates from Old French "resondre," which is derived from the Latin "resonare," meaning "to echo" or "to resound." This Latin verb is a combination of "re-" (again) and "sonare" (to sound). In Middle English (circa 1300), "resound" emerged as a verb, initially meaning "to echo back" or "to reverberate." Over time, its meaning expanded to encompass notions of loud and clear sounds, such as thunder, music, or applauses, "resounding" forth. Today, "resound" is often used in various contexts, including literature, music, and everyday conversation, to convey the idea of a powerful, echoing, or reverberating sound.
