Buzzes

/ˈbʌzɪz/ verb

Definition

Makes a continuous low humming or vibrating sound; or plural of buzz, meaning excitement or gossip.

Etymology

From Middle English 'buzze,' possibly imitative of the sound itself. The '-es' makes it third-person singular or plural.

Kelly Says

Like 'hiss' and 'buzz,' the word sounds like what it means—bees actually do buzz, and the sound of the word mimics the vibration of their wings!
