A musical or acoustic phenomenon where sound seems to break or stutter, or the sound quality of a broken or fractured transmission.
From Greek 'brochos' (break/fracture) and 'phone' (sound). This is a technical term used in acoustics and telecommunications to describe disrupted audio signals.
In the age of digital communication, we've reinvented ancient Greek roots to describe modern problems—when your video call breaks up, that's brochophony in action, proving that language adapts to describe what our ears experience.
