A deep, continuous humming or buzzing sound; the act of bombinating.
From Latin 'bombinatio,' derived from 'bombinare' (to buzz). The abstract noun form expresses the continuous quality of the sound.
This word has the same mysterious appeal as 'bombilation'—it's one of those archaic terms that perfectly captures a specific sensory experience, which is why modern writers still occasionally resurrect it!
