Resonance is a deep, full sound that continues or vibrates for a long time. More broadly, it can mean a quality that strongly affects or connects with people’s feelings or thoughts.
From Latin *resonare* 'to sound again', from *re-* 'again' + *sonare* 'to sound'. It first described echoing sound and later emotional or symbolic 'echoes' in people’s minds.
When a story or image 'resonates' with you, your mind is echoing back like a vibrating guitar string. In physics, resonance can even make bridges wobble or shatter glass when the right frequency hits.
