覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
resound は sound「音がする」を土台に覚えると入りやすい語です。中心のイメージは「ただ鳴る」ではなく、re- が加わって反響しながら広く響き渡ること。だから物理的な音だけでなく、意見・評価・影響が広く知れ渡る意味にも伸びます。echo は「こだまそのもの」、resound は空間や社会全体に大きく響く感じ。a hall resounded with applause, the message resounded across the country のような形で覚えると使い分けしやすいです。
Anchor it to the simpler word `sound`. `Resound` feels bigger than just making a sound: it suggests sound spreading, echoing, or filling a space. That is why it also works for ideas or messages that spread widely.

resound の語源・成り立ち Etymology
resound はラテン語 resonare に由来し、re-「返して・再び」+ sonare「鳴る」から成ります。sonic や resonance も同根で、『音が返ってくる』のが原義です。だからただ鳴るのでなく、空間いっぱいに響き渡る感じがこの語にはこもっています。
"Resound" comes from Latin "resonare," from "re-" meaning "back" or "again" and "sonare," meaning "to sound." It is related to English words like "resonance" and "sonic." The original idea is of sound coming back, which led to the stronger sense of sound echoing or ringing widely.
