音楽用語で交響曲または交響的な作品。音楽的な組成。

覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
symphonia はギリシャ語 syn「共に」＋ phōnē「音・声」で、「複数の音が共に響く」が記憶の核。現代の一般語 symphony と結び付けつつ、symphonia は古風・歴史的な音楽用語として、合奏曲、交響的作品、複数楽章の作品を指す文脈で覚える。
Break symphonia into Greek syn-, “together,” and phōnē, “sound” or “voice.” The core image is several sounds joining in harmony. This same structure appears in the familiar modern word symphony, which is the best memory bridge. When symphonia occurs in English, expect a historical, scholarly, or stylistically marked musical context rather than ordinary concert language. Clues such as orchestra, performed, composer, movements, and themes point to a musical composition. Keep telephone as a secondary connection to phōnē: it also contains the idea of sound or voice, but it names a device, not a composition.

symphonia の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ギリシャ語 syn（共に）+ phōnē（音・声）が語源で「音の調和」を意味する。ラテン語 symphonia を経て各国語に広まった。関連語：symphony、telephone。複数の音が一つに響き合うという原義が、合奏や協和音の意味につながっている。
Symphonia comes from Greek symphōnia, meaning “agreement of sound,” “concord,” or “harmony.” It is formed from syn-, “together,” and phōnē, “sound” or “voice.” The word passed into Latin as symphonia and was subsequently used in European musical traditions for harmonious sound, ensembles, instruments, and compositions. English symphony developed from the same source. The phōnē element also appears in sound-related formations such as telephone and phonetics.
