resonancia
/resoˈnanθja/ · B2 · noun · f
resonance
🔔 re- + sonar (to sound) = sound again, an echo that keeps ringing
Resonancia comes from Latin resonare: re- (again, back) + sonare (to sound). A bell struck once keeps sounding, and that lingering effect gives the figurative meaning of impact: something that keeps echoing after it happens.
