Definitions

  1. To echo, ring out, or be filled with a loud sound.

Word origin

From Late Middle English resoun, reson (“echoing or reverberating sound; clangour, din, noise”), from Old French reson, and from its etymon Latin resonus (“echoing, resounding”), from re- (prefix meaning ‘again’) + sonus (“sound; noise; pitch; speech; (figuratively) character, style, tone; tongue, voice”) (from sonō (verb) (see further at etymology 1) + -us (suffix forming nouns)).
