Very loud and clear; or very noticeable and impressive in how successful or impactful something is.
From resound (from Latin resonare: re- meaning again + sonare meaning to sound). Originally described literal sounds echoing, but by the 1600s it metaphorically described anything that had a strong, obvious impact or impression.
When a sports team wins with a 'resounding victory,' the word carries both the echo of cheering crowds and the undeniable proof of dominance. This double meaning shows how metaphors help us feel abstract ideas as if we could actually hear them.
