Produced with vibration of the vocal cords (in phonetics), or expressed and made known.
From Old English 'voice,' derived from Old French 'voix,' from Latin 'vox' meaning sound or voice. In linguistics, 'voiced' became a technical term to describe consonants made with vocal cord vibration.
Linguists discovered that some consonants like 'z' make your voice box vibrate (voiced), while others like 's' don't—you can feel the difference by putting your fingers on your throat and saying both sounds!
