sonar
/soˈnaɾ/ · A1 · verb
to sound, to ring
🔔 sonar = Latin sonare, to sound; same root as sonic, sonata, resonate
English sonic, sonata and resonate all come from Latin sonare, so sonar is simply to make a sound or to ring. Me suena means it rings a bell for me. The underwater device is the same spelling by coincidence: an English acronym, SOund NAvigation Ranging.
